The String Beans have performed for Nebraska families since 2004, offering silly songs and fun stage shows. The group was founded by brothers Curt and Randy Bright. Freddy Kerr rounds out the trio.

String Beans music is a fun mix of rock, country, blues, pop, polka, and rap. Their songs are about the stuff kids love-dinosaurs, sports, animals, food, and fireworks. Several of the songs are educational and teach children about the alphabet, antonyms, reading, and Nebraska history.

The String Beans have released two CDs, "Gophers in Loafers" and "Oodles of Noodles." Currently, The String Beans are putting together their third CD, which will be a collection of original Christmas songs.

The Nov. 13 performance is part of the Lied Center's "Free at 6" series. Free at 6 was created to recognize and celebrate the rich range of artistic talent in the community and to open the doors of the Lied Center to a wider audience. Free at 6 programs, 45 minutes in length, give local artists a venue to build support for their art while encouraging the participation of new audiences.
