THE NEW STANDARDS HOLIDAY SHOW 2026

$53 - $73

This holiday variety show mixes jazz, pop, and festive classics with smooth harmonies, lively performances, and special guests—selling out every year, it’s so popular an extra 2026 show has been added. 

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. The instrumentation is simple: John Munson of Trip Shakespeare/Semisonic fame on bass; Chan Poling, founder of the new-wave group The Suburbs on piano; and Steve Roehm on vibes. Chan and John split the singing. A footstomp here, a shout-out there, a fiery solo, and it's cooked. Simple, elegant, illuminating.
