Brown Bag Concert Series

Big band jazz concert 1200

City of Saint Johns recently issued the following announcement.

‘Clique Vocals’ is featured on the ‘Brown Bag Concert Series’ on August 13th in downtown St. Johns

   Dan Templin and Kelly Sandaula-Gruner, aka ‘Clique Vocals,’ are no strangers to St. Johns having performed here several times over the years. They will bring their wonderful sound to the new ‘Brown Bag Concert Series’ on Friday, August 13 in downtown St Johns. The hour-long concert will start at 12 noon and will be held in the Rotary Park Pavilion next to the Railway Depot. 

   “Dan and Kelly have been singing together as a duo for many years,” explains Bill Tennant, series coordinator. “They will present an entertaining program of jazz standards, along with a nice mix of pop and contemporary tunes. Their shared love of singing jazz standards has led to this long collaboration.”  

   Kelly’s music career began at age 4 with piano lessons, and at age 11, fell in love with the French Horn. She currently plays French Horn with the Lansing Concert Band, sings with both the LCB Jazz Big Band and Singers on the Grand, and performs in local theater. Kelly holds degrees in both music and commercial art, and is currently working as a graphic designer. She is also the lead singer with the local rock band “Party of Seven.” 

   Dan sings, acts and plays piano with several mid-Michigan performing arts organizations including Singers on the Grand, the LCB Jazz Big Band, and local theatre groups. He is also the tenor in Take Note barbershop quartet of Grand Ledge. Dan is a lawyer specializing in family law. 

   This concert is being presented by the Clinton County Arts Council and is made possible by a grant from the St Johns Area Community Fund using gifts received from The Forest and Doris Swatman Trust. 

   The concert is open to the public free of charge and will be held rain or shine. Some picnic tables are available for the lunchtime concert, but it’s advisable to bring your favorite lawn chair. Social distancing and safety precautions are strongly encouraged.
