Twin Cities-based accompanist, writer, and vocalist Dan Chouinard hosts the 17th annual Old-Fashioned Holiday Sing Along on Friday, December 22nd at 7:00 pm at the St. Mane Theatre in downtown Lanesboro. The 2023 Holiday show will feature a collection of songs, poems, and stories from familiar faces, as well as the musical talents of Dan and his special guest, Connie Evingson!

Tickets are on sale now for this heart-and-hearth warming evening for $28 ($25 Lanesboro Arts Members). This show is likely to sell out, so don’t wait!

Dan Chouinard has been a sought after pianist, accordion player, writer, and community singalong host in the Twin Cities for three decades. He has performed all across the upper Midwest and often makes appearances on theatrical stages and public radio spots, including appearances on Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion.

Minnesota born-and-raised, Connie Evingson has a catalog of acclaimed albums that run a wide spectrum of genres. From jazz to Broadway standards, to covering Peggy Lee or The Beatles, the Twin Cities-based singer has an adventurous spirit that, like her music, knows no boundaries. Her ten albums released through Minnehaha Music have all charted in the Top 50 in the United States and Canada, and can be heard on radio stations around the globe.  No matter the genre, from bebop to Bossa nova, from big-band swing to ballads, her voice is pitch-perfect; a bit smoky in texture, with articulation as clear as midnight on a starry Minnesota winter night.

This show is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
