The Biscuit Brothers! * Emmy Award Winning Children's Program on PBS stations

The Biscuit Brothers Television Project has a mission to serve children and families and strengthen communities through free educational television.

Using music education as a gateway, we offer children an opportunity to build and explore interpersonal and community values, and to think critically about the world around them.

for each season is to reach more families across the country with our television program and accessible concerts, along with supporting music curriculum in classrooms.

for the future is to be ambassadors for Austin’s unique style and spirit, with a focus on family participation in music.  We use music as an entry point to give children everywhere a head-start on all aspects of learning and exploration.

to reach our goals. With the support of our community, we will be an export Austin can be proud of.  Our presenting TV station, KLRU in Austin, provides us with many invaluable resources like broadcast air time and community connection; however KLRU and PBS are unable to support any of our production costs financially. The Biscuit Brothers project is entirely funded by community support.
