Arthur Ashe Kids Day returns to the U.S. Open grounds at Flushing Meadows Corona Park on Saturday with an all-star line-up sure to make even the most stoic of children get weak-kneed looking at the cute-as-a-button faces of their favorite performers.

The Artists
Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas, the platinum selling and Grammy nominated songwriters and musicians who perform as the Jonas Brothers, have sold nearly 9 million copies of their four albums. Known for their dynamic stage performances, their 2009 world tour sold over a million tickets and was one the best selling tours of the year.

For the past two years, actress and recording artist Demi Lovato has been on a non-stop upward trajectory in music and TV. Her solo album “Don’t Forget” debuted at No. 2 and her most recent album, “Here We Go Again,” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, delivering a platinum-certified hit of the same name.

In the summer of 2007, at the tender age of 16, David Archuleta was finally old enough to audition for American Idol. This was the first step on the path that led him to who he is today. He became the runner-up for the seventh season of American Idol and signed to 19 Recordings/Jive Records. His self-titled debut album contained the hit song “Crush,” which has sold over 2.3 million digital units to date, and went on to sell over 750,000 albums.

Shonetelle, a 23-year-old singer, songwriter and aspiring lawyer from Barbados, has no regrets about pursuing her destiny. Her unique story begins in the West Indies on the beautiful Island of Barbados. She began to carve a reputation in the Caribbean music world by crafting songs for a number of top artists, all while attending the University. Before long, Shontelle scored a hit heard far beyond the Caribbean, writing the girl-power anthem “Roll.”

In 2009, San Diego’s Allstar Weekend was added to Radio Disney’s “Next Big Thing” competition and subsequently signed to Hollywood Records. A little over a year later, the band’s high-energy pop-punk single “A Different Side of Me” has sold over 100,000 copies and topped Radio Disney’s Top 30 Countdown.

The School Gyrls not only look the part of sweet high school students, they actually are. These three pint-sized pop stars pack major charisma and talent into an adorable adolescent package. The group officially formed in November 2008 and have been hard at work ever since. They made their television debut as the School Gyrls with Nick Cannon on the season finale of E! TV Show “Party Monsters” in Cabo San Lucas in January 2009, and have since been busy recording their debut album which will be released under the Island Def Jam imprint in 2010.

The Bryan Bros Band’s latest record, “Let It Rip,” was originally released in late 2009 exclusively on Amazon.com where it reached No. 12 on the New Releases-Pop charts and No. 23 on the All Pop/Rock Albums chart.
