The Singer's Voice with Dan Chouinard and Prudence Johnson

Pianist Dan Chouinard revives his acclaimed weekly series, interviewing Twin Cities singers from the piano about their lives and influences, their favorite childhood records and first performances, stopping to do the songs that come up in the conversation. The Singer's Voice ran as a live radio show for six years in the 1990s, broadcasting live on Jazz-88 KBEM-FM from the old Dakota Jazz Club in St. Paul.

Dan Chouinard: Host and Piano
Prudence Johnson: Stories and Songs

For three decades, singer Prudence Johnson and pianist Dan Chouinard have enjoyed a musical friendship, performing and touring the country together. Both are veterans of National Public Radio’s A Prairie Home Companion, and they can be seen individually on theater and concert stages with many and diverse musical projects. Each has appeared on the other’s recordings, and their collection of Gershwin songs features the duo in the pure simplicity of one piano and one voice. The two traveled across the US with humorist Garrison Keillor in the 2022/23 season. They both indulge their love of classic country music in the seven-piece band, Lush Country.
