The Firecracker Fairy: Home
Parties, Writing Workshops, Festivals & More
My name is Ashleigh Wehmeyer. I'm the Firecracker Fairy & I'm ready to entertain & educate your children! Dressed in full regalia, I perform an interactive show of original & traditional children's music on my guitar. I introduce the kids to the concept of songwriting, teach a little bit of music theory & we have a whole lot of fun! I also conduct writing workshops for older children!
I'm available for bookings throughout Central Texas. I also have my own sound system for outdoor or larger indoor venues. My Firecracker Fairy show caters to boys & girls through second grade. For my writing workshops, I trade in my "fairy wear" for jeans and teach kids about storytelling through song. In these workshops, kids actually get the chance to write their own lyrics to tunes they know!
Don't forget to join my email list & you'll receive monthly updates letting you know where you can see the Firecracker Fairy around town!
