Our guest today Sean Johnson 48 00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:10.280 with the Sean Johnson Big Band Experience, also with Tonic Solfa. Sean is 49 00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:15.680 going to be in town tonight for a fundraiser for the Faith Temple Food Giveway, 50 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:20.319 an amazing organization. Sean, how long have you been performing professionally now? 51 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:23.080 Yeah, we started performing right out of college. I went to school 52 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.800 in Minnesota. We formed an acapella group called Tonic Solfa at the time, 53 00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.039 and then a couple of years ago, I'm still doing Toni Solva, but 54 00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:34.479 to also split my time with a charitable it's actually a big band, and 55 00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:37.960 I was trying to raise money for charity doing something with music, but it 56 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.400 has grown so much. But now I split my time between Tonic Solva and 57 00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:44.599 this big band. And you're going to be in Sioux Falls tonight and it's 58 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:46.840 with the Big Band Experience, right. It is the big band. We've 59 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:51.360 been traveling around the country. We have done shows in Si Falls of pavilion 60 00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:53.879 and such, so let's be a exciting change of venue for us. One 61 00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:58.039 of the other gentlemen in Tonic Solva. His name is Teo. He plays 62 00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:00.400 piano in the big Band Experience, so we get to see each other's face 63 00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:03.759 as doubly as much. And we've just been traveling around the country for the 64 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:08.439 last couple of years building this as well. It's kind of interesting because I 65 00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:12.879 always love big brand, but I didn't know really much about big band music, 66 00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:15.600 so I'm also learning as I travel. It's just going to be an 67 00:04:15.600 --> 00:04:18.439 amazing time and I'm super excited to be in Two Falls, which is now 68 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:23.199 my hometown. That's awesome, and I'm excited for tonight because I love the 69 00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:26.839 way you guys do the big band experience. You take this music, this 70 00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:30.240 classic, amazing, almost one hundred year old music, and you put your 71 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:33.600 fresh spin on it to make it sound brand new, fresh and just amazing. 72 00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:35.560 So I love what you do. Well, thank you. I think 73 00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:40.680 when we started, we wanted to basically make all of our influences into this 74 00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:44.040 sort of big band sound and make sure that we had musicians from all over 75 00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.319 so we have a lot of different tastes, whether it be gospel or country 76 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:50.120 or rock and kind of blend all that together with big band. And we 77 00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:54.480 definitely didn't think we could really sing like Sinatra, So we're like, we'd 78 00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:58.800 better put our own stamp on this, all of our own individual type music 79 00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:01.480 that's still Russ on those shoulders, but hopefully has a new twist. So 80 00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:05.120 when you're doing this and you're out performing, how different is it when you're 81 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:09.600 doing the big band experience compared to Tonic Solfa. Is it quite a different 82 00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:12.720 experience getting ready for a show. Oh, it's crazily different. Like at 83 00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:15.680 Christmas sometimes we do back to back shows, so I have to first of 84 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:17.680 all, remember two different shows. But the other interesting thing is there's two 85 00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:21.319 different languages like acapella when we're talking about how to arrange a song, what 86 00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:25.920 we're singing, or these musicians that I've now tour with, the big bands, 87 00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:29.480 that our university professors and have traveled with all these other luminaries. It's 88 00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:31.079 kind of a crazy different way of speaking. So I'm learning so much. 89 00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:34.920 And also they don't really cross over. Tonic Solfa has its own crowd, 90 00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:38.759 its own fans, and big band is starting to grow and have its own 91 00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:42.079 crowd and its sound bands, And you get to perform and I think different 92 00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:45.480 places than I've ever done I've never done a club with Tonic Solva. I've 93 00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:48.279 never been overseas with Toni Solva, but with big band we have done that 94 00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:53.480 and continue to now do shows with orchestras. So yeah, definitely different on 95 00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:56.920 many levels. And I suppose as far as like setting up for a show. 96 00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:59.360 When it's the big band, there's a lot of instruments and a lot 97 00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:01.480 of mics and to be connected for that, but Tonic Solfa, it's just 98 00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:04.560 you know, a couple of guys and a couple of microphones, and as 99 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:08.439 simple as they're trying to make that out, I know that's very complex as 100 00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:12.319 well, isn't it. Yeah, you know, we always wanted to entertain. 101 00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:14.680 I think in both groups it's sort of the thing that I want to 102 00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:16.839 do is take people on some sort of journey, you know, ups and 103 00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:19.879 downs, and take them away from whatever they have had to deal with that 104 00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:24.000 day. And I think whether it was Toni Sola or whether now a big 105 00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:26.959 band, you know, we were always using a lot of technology. We're 106 00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:29.759 always bringing in special guests, We're always trying to make it crazier. So 107 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:33.079 yeah, we probably could have simplified the acadella version, But now I could 108 00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:39.199 even go crazier. So it's been really interesting all the different instruments and all 109 00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:43.199 the different parts of both of those shows. Again tonight in Sue Falls the 110 00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:47.959 second Annual Faith Temple Food Giveaway fundraiser. It's a gala dinner and concert featuring 111 00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:53.000 music from the Gentleman we're talking to right now, Sean Johnson and the Big 112 00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:57.040 Band Experience, and we're helping raise money for the Faith Temple Food Giveaway. 113 00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:00.120 It's an amazing organization, and Sean, thank you for helping to raise money 114 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:02.519 for them. Well, thank you. I always just happy to be asked. 115 00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:05.920 They said, tickets are selling extremely well, so that's fantastic, and 116 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:09.439 we just want to raise as much money we're possible. I took a deep 117 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:13.959 dive into what they do and it was crazy how many people they're helping and 118 00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:15.639 how much food they give away. But to do that, of course, 119 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:18.000 you've got to raise money. So if I can be a tiny part of 120 00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:20.800 that, I'm all in. Absolutely. I look forward to seeing you tonight. 121 00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:23.959 Thank you so much for your time this morning. Yeah, thank you 122 00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:28.720 again.

Time now for this day in Sioux Falls history, 135 00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:24.560 brought to you by the Sioux Falls Fund Page and Sunny ninety three point three. 136 00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:28.240 It was on this day, April twenty fifth, nineteen seventy three, 137 00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:33.639 construction crews began removing the street on Phillips Avenue between ninth and eleventh to make 138 00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.440 room for a full outdoor walking mall. In case you're having trouble picturing the 139 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:43.519 concept no cars allowed in the heart of downtown. Extra kiosks, fountains, 140 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:48.039 shrubs, benches, etc. All set up to create a smooth shopping experience. 141 00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:52.120 Outdoor malls were a craze sweeping the nation in the nineteen seventies, and 142 00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.559 while they did well in warmer climates, the concept didn't quite work in Soue 143 00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:58.399 Falls, to say the least. Just a few years later, the sidewalks 144 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.360 and plazas would be ripped back out and the streets renewed, creating the downtown 145 00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:05.399 Sue Falls we know today.

Here's your market being minute for Tuesday, April twenty fifth, brought 155 00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:48.759 to you by Genesis goold Ira dot com. Equity markets were treading water Monday 156 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:54.519 as investors weighed a fresh round of earnings reports and prepared for another inflation report. 157 00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:56.679 On the earnings front, reports continue to come in better than expected, 158 00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:01.720 but instead of pointing to a solid rebound in second half, inflationary pressures persist 159 00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:05.960 and volume declins are taking a toll on the outlook. If this trend continues, 160 00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:09.559 it is likely the S and P five hundred will move lower by the 161 00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:11.399 end of the reporting season, but it's still early in the cycle. The 162 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:16.759 PC Price Index is due out Friday. This is the latest read on inflation 163 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.440 before the next FOMC meeting and will set the tone for the upcoming decision. 164 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.440 If inflation shows cooling, the FOMC may be able to hike once more and 165 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:26.480 then pause to wait and see what happens. If not, the Fed may 166 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:31.120 be forced to hike more than expected, and there's still oil prices to consider. 167 00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:33.879 The price of oil is expected to move higher due to OPEX production cuts, 168 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:39.799 and that may reinvigorate inflation.
