Auburn Public Library features Fun Run Band and lots of fun

AUBURN — The Kindie rock band Fun Run recently performed at the Auburn Library as part of APL’s summer reading program for children. Kindie is a style of children’s music that the songwriter/performer gears toward kids under age 10. Fun Run features the husband/wife team of Zach and Mia Reinstein of Turner.
The couple are teachers in Buckfield; Mia is a librarian and Zach’s focus is special education. Both musicians play a variety of stringed instruments, including a bouzouki, popular with Irish, Turkish and Greek musical groups. The Reinsteins chose Fun Run as the duo’s name while their children were participating in the Lewiston/Auburn Triple Crown’s Fun Run.
Their current show is “The Traveler’s Story,” about a young girl’s adventurous travels where her encounters are musically enhanced by popular children’s songs and original songs written by the Reinsteins.
The young audience is encouraged to sing and even dance as the kids happily did at the June 27 performance at the Auburn library.
