Rocknoceros (pronounced like "rhinoceros") is three DC guys Coach Cotton, Williebob and Boogie Woogie Bennie who write and perform original rock/pop music for kids and their parents too. Coach Cotton is the lead singer and ring-leader; he wades through the mass of dancing children, dispersing high-fives and shaking a tambourine. Williebob provides the necessary string work for the show, moving among a collection of guitars, mandolins and banjos while wearing a kazoo around his neck. Boogie Woogie Bennie is a one-man-band within the power trio, employing a contraption that one four-year-old fan described as "the piano-drum." Together, Rocknoceros is able to cover a dizzying range of musical styles in each set. From Tin Pan Alley to the shores of Jamaica, Rocknoceros hops from genre to genre like a toad on summer asphalt.
