Todd & the Fox
Thursday, May 14, 2026
4:15-5:30pm
Todd and the Fox is equal parts rollicking, rolling, playful animal spirit and tooth and claw hammer mountain-minor backwoods predator. Employing electric banjo, lap steel, guitar, bass and drums, T&tF performs family-friendly songs about rattlesnakes, coyotes, a good night’s sleep, the joys of blundering fatherhood, mindfulness, and funky worms.
The band, the brainchild of Todd Eric Lovato, has exported its unique brand of New Mexican electronic folk music throughout the Southwest and as far as South Korea, and has recently released a compilation EP of kids songs. Todd and the Fox is made up of multi instrumentalists/songwriters Todd Eric Lovato, Erik Sawyer, and Brian Nelson.

Jules!
Thursday, June 11, 2026
4:15-5:30pm
Jules! (they/them) is a two-time GRAMMY-considered children's artist, songwriter, and educator whose original, inclusive music inspires empathy, self-regulation, and self-expression in kids and the families who love them. Rooted in kindness, connection, and the belief that every child deserves to feel seen, Jules! continues to create music that matters — for the littlest listeners and the grown-ups beside them.
One of the original collaborators on Songs for Littles — now known as Ms. Rachel — Jules! helped shape the show's music from its earliest days through its rise to phenomenon, and has been featured across both YouTube and Netflix. They have since built a devoted community through their own YouTube channel, Jamming with Jules!, which has amassed over 35 million views since its launch in 2023.

Sensory Friendly Concerts at Santa Fe Public Libraries
Sensory-friendly concerts are designed for kiddos of any age with an autism spectrum disorder or sensory sensitivity and their families. The concerts are low volume, with ample room for movement and vocalizations by audience members. We encourage families to bring the support tools they need, but will also have ear protection and fidget tools available for use.
To keep our audience members comfortable, this is a reduced-capacity show. Please plan to arrive early to save your seat.
