The New Standards at Crooners
Main Stage Showroom 6161 Hwy 65 NE, Minneapolis, MN, United StatesDinner and cocktail seating and service begins 1 hour before showtimes. Jazz Arrangements of Pop and Rock Hits Minnesota stalwarts, The New Standards create an intriguing blend of everything from classic cabaret to punk rock, from the freedom of jazz, to the soul of pop and rock. They make it work through offbeat humor and sheer musicianship.Chan Poling: Piano and Vocals John Munson: Bass and Vocals Steve Roehm: Vibraphone Formed in 2005 as an off-shoot project between three Minneapolis-based musicians and friends, The New Standards has grown into a globe-spanning adventure—filling theaters and clubs around the world and spawning several CDs, videos, cartoons, and dance and theater projects that have charmed and delighted an ever-multiplying legion of faithful fans. “As a trio, they have made a practice of dressing up punk and pop classics – “I Will Dare” by the Replacements gets a place in the pantheon – in jazz arrangements that overlay piano, upright bass and vibraphone…The DNA of the band and its members has its feet firmly rooted into punk/pop culture.” – NY Times www.thenewstandards.com
