  • The Kerplunks are a Canadian children's music group based on Gabriola Island, BC. This group was formed in 2006, releasing their first self-titled album in 2007. The Kerplunks have been nominated for multiple Juno Awards and won multiple Parents Choice Awards etc. Due to public outcry for children's music that parents could enjoy, this 4-piece band can be found at top music festivals across Canada and Canada and beyond. The Kerplunks are composed of musicians Dinah D, Jocelyn Hallett (2016), Phil Wipper and Aaron Cadwaladr. Their first album, The Kerplunks was recorded in 2007 and was written and largely performed by Dinah D and Tina Jones (2006-2016), with the introduction of Phil Wipper on drums. This album saw the band receive several award nominations and wins in Canada, including the prestigious JUNO Award. The Kerplunks' second album, Walk On 2009, saw the introduction of Aaron Cadwaladr as guitarist, and garnered several more award nominations. Their third album, Number 3 (released in June 2010) followed suit with multiple awards internationally. In June 2012, The Kerplunks released their full-length DVD titled Get Creative, also to critical acclaim. The band's fourth studio album titled "Pants & Mammals" was released in June of 2015. In 2016 Tina Jones left the project and Jocelyn Hallett (Jojo) was invited in. The band since released their first Lullaby album, an hour long sleep epic titled Lullabies For Big Eyes. The Kerplunks are a four-piece band who perform for children's audiences. Each show is an action-packed adventure between the band members and the audience, resulting in dancing, singing and hilarity. On album, they combine to play over 10 different instruments, from the kazoo to the upright bass. Live, The Kerplunks perform with Upright Bass (Dinah), Trumpet/Trombone/Keys (Jojo), Guitar (Aaron) and Drums (Phil or Brendan). Appearing at many large national festivals and small community gatherings, they play many musical styles including reggae, rock, swing, blues, bluegrass and many others. The Kerplunks were nominees for the 2009 Juno Award, 2010 Juno Award, and 2011 Juno Award in the category for Children's Album of the Year. The group were recipients of the 8th annual Vox Populi Independent Music Awards for Best Children’s Album "The Kerplunks" and again in 2009 for best Children's song "Walk On". The Kerplunks' "Ants Dance" was also nominated for the 7th Annual Independent Music Awards for Children's Song of the year.
