Welcome to Lola and the Lads - a whimsical world where music, storytelling, and octopus-led adventures come together to spark joy and imagination in every child (and every child-at-heart). At the heart of it all is Krissy - a lifelong music teacher turned creative force - and her unforgettable sidekick, Lola the Octopus. What began as an ESL program using Beatles songs to teach English has bloomed into a vibrant, retro-inspired music experience for families who love to sing, laugh, and learn together. With over 30 years of classroom and studio experience, Krissy brings her love of music, play, and connection into every beat. Whether she's performing her original parody of Copacabana to tell Lola's origin story, learning how to animate the band for live singalongs, or tweaking her Barbie-style action figure with the teacher bun and red glasses - she's all in. And then there's Lil Jimmy - her guitar-strumming, ukulele-playing husband who pops into reels with a baby-face filter and an epic song on his lips. Together, they've created a magical musical universe where Lola is the drumming, dreaming octopus who just might have inspired Octopus's Garden herself. From real-life concert encounters (yes, Ringo noticed Lola!) to beachside jams in Maui, every moment in this world is infused with heart, harmony, and a dash of vintage sparkle. Because deep in our hearts, young or old, there's always a song - and it's that melody, and the music, carry us along. Lola, sweet Lola, is always singing that song.
