Shaun Johnson returns with his jazz pop holiday show. As the lead singer of Tonic Sol-fa and an Emmy winner, Shaun reworks classic Christmas fare with a charismatic charm. Also, his performances routinely sell out. Make plans to see this nationally acclaimed Billboard Top 5 artist with his new show!The Shaun Johnson Big Band Experience is leading a “jazz pop renaissance” (The Guardian).
Johnson seemed destined for a life of music from the very beginning. “One of my earliest memories,” he says, “is performing at state fair talent shows with my little sister. We’d sing Sonny and Cher songs, a capella, when neither of us was quite tall enough to reach the microphone.”
Originally from the small town of Saint Joseph, Iowa, Shaun attended Saint John’s University. Then, he moved to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where he began his career with nationally known vocal group, Tonic Sol-fa. This quartet has sold over two million albums independently and has been featured in Newsweek and on the Today Show. Also, Shaun is still an active member.
In 2018, Shaun put together a group featuring some of the best instrumentalists and arrangers in the Midwest. Additionally, members have toured with numerous luminaries, are Music Educators of the Year and are integral members of collegiate jazz faculties. Thus, his vision was to create a contemporary jazz pop sound. The BBE honors legends like Frank Sinatra, with a nod to Michael Bublé and Lake Street Dive. Also, Johnson gives the music his own twist, performing songs ranging from the “Spiderman Theme” to increasingly popular original works.
