Johnny Jay is a Midwest crooner with a knack for singing and sounding like some of the great crooners of our time. Johnny will bring loads of entertaining music to our evening’s events with his Great Crooner revue, which he has given to thousands across the Midwest over his many years as an entertainer.  Enjoy Johnny Jay’s sharing of some of the big hits from Crooners Like Sinatra, Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, Perry Como, Neil Diamond, Elvis, and more! And to join in the festive beginning of the holiday season, Johnny will weave a few of your Christmas favorites as well. It will be a night to kick back and relax with good music, good friends, and neighbors before the quickening pace of the holiday season begins. Johnny Jay has performed his music for audiences from coast to coast for over 30 years. You can find his songs and some original music on Spotify and YouTube, where he is building a national following! Get ready for fun. You never know which crooner voices will be a part of the Johnny Jay show!

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Northwest Minnesota Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
