Join Dan Chouinard and friends for an intimate, one-night performance featuring dinner, conversation and song at the Minnesota History Center!
Start the evening with a classic Italian-American meal, and mingle with Dan as he works the room, accordion in hand.
After dessert, guests will take in a program of great Italian-American songs and stories featuring Dan’s spin on classics by Dean Martin and Connie Francis, who proclaimed their Italian heritage in songs like “Volare,” “Mamma” and “Buona Sera.”
Mambo Italiano is inspired by Dan’s European bicycle travels, a love for popular songs and a Minnesotan’s lingering wish that he were just a little bit Italian.
The show will also include stories and other highlights culled from the Minnesota Historical Society’s archive of oral histories and other contributions by Italian-Minnesotans, as well as first class support from friends like Prudence Johnson, Jordan Sramek, Jim TenBensel and more. Tutti a Tavola!
