Shaun Johnson + The Big Band Experience

Sunday, September 22, 2024
Time:  4:00pm
Ticket Prices:  Adult - $30, Senior - $25, Student - $5

Shaun Johnson, an Emmy-winning singer/songwriter, seemed destined for a life of music from the very beginning.  Originally from the small town of Saint Joseph, Iowa, Shaun attended Saint John’s University before settling in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where he began his career with the nationally known vocal group, Tonic Sol-fa. This quartet has sold nearly two million albums independently and has been featured in Newsweek and the Today Show. Shaun is still an active member.

In 2018, Shaun put together a group featuring some of the best instrumentalists and arrangers in the Midwest -- guys who’ve toured with numerous luminaries, who are Music Educators of the Year, and who are integral members of the collegiate jazz faculties. His vision was to create a contemporary Jazz Pop sound, honoring legends like Frank Sinatra, with a nod to Michael Bublé and Lake Street Dive, while giving the music his own twist - performing songs ranging from the “Spiderman Theme” to increasingly popular works.
