A Flock Of Seagulls

Shaun Johnson returns to the Hoyt Sherman Place stage 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, and his performances routinely sell out. Make plans to see this nationally acclaimed Billboard Top 5 artist as he brings a new show back to Des Moines!

Shaun Johnson & The Big Band Experience

A Flock of Seagulls were one of prime movers in the 80s new wave era, growing out of the synth-heavy and ruthlessly stylish new romantic movement. Hairdresser Mike Score (lead vocals, keyboards) formed A Flock of Seagulls with his brother Ali (drums) and fellow hairdresser Frank Maudsley (bass) in 1980, adding guitarist Paul Reynolds several months later. The band released their eponymous debut album in 1982 and released “I Ran (So Far Away)” as the first single, which climbed into the American Top Ten. Other hits include “Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You),” “Space Age Love Song,” and “The More You Live, The More You Love.” In 2024, Mike Score returned with the sixth A Flock of Seagulls album Some Dreams, the first studio album in over 19 years. The album featured all new compositions and showcased that songwriting talent that Mike still, at 71, can dish out with effortless aplomb.
