Blue October

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

Blue October, the Houston-born, San Marcos, Texas-based alternative rock band, has become a beacon of emotional transparency and artistic transformation. Led by Justin Furstenfeld (vocals, guitar, songwriter) and joined by Jeremy Furstenfeld (drums, percussion), Ryan Delahoussaye (violin, mandolin, piano, backing vocals), Matt Noveskey (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Steve Schiltz (lead guitar), the multi-platinum group is known for their deeply personal lyrics, cinematic soundscapes, and electrifying live performances. With over a billion streams and eighteen Top 40 singles, including hits like “Hate Me,” “Into the Ocean,” “Oh My My,” and “I Hope You’re Happy,” Blue October has cultivated a fiercely loyal global fanbase.
