Ira Pettle Bio

If 'Kid Whisperer' was a job, Ira Pettle would write the handbook. With over 25 years of performing, entertaining, and educating audiences of all ages, Ira truly is a multi-talented (and award-winning) creative. With music at the core of his life's work, he's now working with Juno Award-winning singer/songwriter Norman Foote, preparing to release his debut record of original songs called, A Little Bit. With his interactive style, comedic flair, and infectious sincerity, Ira is thrilled to be stepping into this next chapter and sharing it for the first time at this year's Whistler Children's Festival.
