The New Standards started in 2005 as an off-shoot project between Minneapolis-based musicians and friends Chan Poling (piano), Steve Roehm (vibes), and John Munson (bass). Since then, TNS has grown into a globe-spanning adventure, filling theaters and clubs around the world. Additionally, they have created several albums, videos, cartoons, dance/theater projects, and ancillary gewgaws that have charmed and delighted faithful fans.

Hatched in 2005 as a musical Easter egg, The New Standards, featuring Chan Poling (The Suburbs), John Munson (Semisonic, Trip Shakespeare) and Steve Roehm (Billygoat, Electropolis), has blossomed into a global egg-stravaganza, delighting fans with their jazz-infused tunes and cracking good humor. Hopping through genres, these three Twin Cities legends bring a basket full of melodies from every era, jazzed up with a sprinkle of humor. Not just a novelty act, this trio crafts music with serious dedication, making each performance an egg-straordinary experience. Join the egg-citement as they lay down tunes that are egg-ceptional, proving that great music can be both meaningful and egg-stremely entertaining!
