"Her [Johnson's] lush, precise, expressive voice, with its pearls of vibrato, is best unadorned. A smart, sensitive pianist – like Chouinard, an in-demand accompanist – is all she needs."
– Minnpost

Twin Cities favorites Prudence Johnson (vocals) and Dan Chouinard (piano) present an evening of inventive and beloved Gershwin songs including “The Man I Love,” “Vodka,” and “It Ain’t Necessarily So.”

“Most Americans probably can hum a bar or two of at least one George Gershwin tune. Gershwin wrote popular songs in jazz, opera and for movies in a very short career in the early part of the 20th century. He died at the young age of 38, but he left behind a catalog of songs that most of us know — or as Prudence Johnson and Dan Chouinard say, ‘Should know.’” – The Current
