Who Is Thaddeus Rex?
He’s an award winning musician who entertains with a wild mixture of rockin’ tunes, hilarious antics, and a contagious enthusiasm for reading.
Non-stop Rockin’!
Thaddeus Rex travels the country with his best friend, a 7 foot dinosaur named ‘Rock’. Together, they put on high energy concerts, known for hooking parents and wow-ing kids. Can you manage the mischief of a 7 foot dinosaur? Can you deal with the danger? Can you Roar Like a Rock Star?
Note: Rock goes to almost all public shows, but rarely ‘in-school’ events. Be sure to check the tour calendar for specifics.

After leaving the Emmy winning PBS Kids show, “The Friday Zone,” Thaddeus started writing and performing full time. He’s since won more than 20 awards, including a Grand Prize in The John Lennon Songwriting Contest and the James Patterson PageTurner Award.
