Grab the kids and get ready to sing. The viral Youtube sensation Gracie\u2019s Corner is coming to the House of Blues Dallas for a family-friendly concert. <\/p>\n

The animated music series, which typically features three-minute episodes, started as a homegrown pandemic project. Parents Javoris and Arlene Gordon-Hollingsworth created the show to give Black children more representation in entertainment. <\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what we\u2019re aiming for, to create something that was fun, educational, that the whole family could love,\u201d Arlene said<\/p>\n

Episodes typically feature an animated version of the couple\u2019s daughter, Graceyn, singing songs that blend educational lyrics with music styles such Blues and New Orleans bounce. Their most popular song is Veggie Dance, a hip-hop anthem encouraging kids to eat their vegetables. Javoris said their creative collaboration has helped Graceyn come out of her shell.<\/p>\n
