ANNOUNCING THE 2024/25 411 MUSIC CONCERT SERIES
THE SINGER’S VOICE WITH HOST AND PIANIST DAN CHOUINARD
From 1994 to 2000 Sunday evenings at the legendary Dakota Jazz Club belonged to a live KBEM radio show called The Singer’s Voice. Hosted by Dan Chouinard at the piano, it was a song-laced conversation with a different singer each week about their life and music. The show was acclaimed by critics and embraced by the music community for its freshness and spontaneity, intimate format, and it’s power of story and song…
