The fun continues on the SOCS stage at The Shane Center for the Arts on Thursday, June 12th with John Roberts Y Pan Blanco. The band delivers a high energy mix of Afro/Cuban/Salsa and funk. The event starts at 4 pm, with food trucks and libations for the whole family. The music starts just after 5 pm.
John Roberts began playing the piano at the age of 5 while living on an isolated ranch in Southeastern Montana. After graduating in 1996 from Montana State University-Billings with a BA in Music Performance, John moved to Los Angeles to earn his Master of Fine Arts in Western Orchestral Performance from California Institute of the Arts. He has performed in all 50 of the United States and around the world.
This big, horn-based band had the entire pavilion on their feet last summer and brought along salsa instructors who taught the folks on the dance floor some fabulous new moves. It is impossible not to move when the band takes the stage. This year’s SOCS sponsors include Livingston HealthCare, Marcia McCrum in honor of Bliss McCrum, and the season is sponsored by Yellowstone Valley Lodge and Grill. The concert series is presented in association with Mighty Fine Time Live Events.
Next up on Thursday, June 19th is Tsunami Funk. For more information and the season lineup, check www.theshanecenter.org
