“Music is the most powerful language in the world and we want children and their families to enjoy and explore that at the Recess Festival,” said Hyams, co-founder of Kidzapalooza and producer of The Kiddie Limits stage for Austin City Limits. “There’s integrity to music that helps children discover themselves.”
