NEWTON — Disney’s Choo Choo Soul returns to The Newton Theatre on Sunday, Oct. 11, for two performances at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Choo Choo Soul is chock full of infectious music and the hip appeal of singer Genevieve Goings, brought to you right from the Disney channel to the stage. Featuring the diverse and incredibly hip duo of train station manager Genevieve and DC, her beatboxing, breakdancing engineer, the show thrills children and parents with soulful, danceable music.
Born to musician parents in the Bay area, Genevieve Goings has been creating music since childhood. Touring with her neo-soul band Legato in 2004 the artist perfected her live stage performance. Her studio career began in hip-hop, writing and recording "hooks" for multiple local artists. This expanded into joining many hip-hop groups and free styling at many San Francisco venues.
Her studio experience led her into voiceover work, and to date she can be found on multiple video games, children's toys, and websites.
Since the success of "Choo-Choo Soul with Genevieve!", she has moved to the Los Angeles area and released a solo album: "Diversity Personified", a title expressive of not only her diverse heritage, but her effortless knack for combining genres and styles.
Constantine "DC" Abramson is a renaissance man of the entertainment world. Break dancing, beat boxing, acting, painting and working as one of the NBA's most recognizable mascots are only a few of his talents. DC and Genevieve toured together in the band Legato and began a mutual appreciation for each other's talents.
As he would beat box and break dance at the shows, Genevieve introduced him to Greg and he was immediately hired on to add his beat boxing to the Choo Choo Soul project. At the time DC was also the mascot "Sourdough Sam" for the San Francisco 49ers.
In addition to his role as the beat boxing, break dancing engineer on "Choo-Choo Soul with Genevieve!" DC is currently working with the NBA'S Golden State Warriors as their team Mascot, “Thunder".
