The Birthday Club with Dan Chouinard Feat. Mary Jane Alm
Two Sunday nights a month, Dan Chouinard brings in a stellar guest singer to toast the music birthdays and anniversaries of the month. Some familiar, some not, all worth celebrating. A dose of history, no prerequisites or homework required, singing along optional.

DAN - For nearly three decades Dan Chouinard has been pianist and accordionist for a long and distinguished roster of artists that includes Maria Jette, Prudence Johnson, Peter Ostroushko, Kevin Kling, and Philip Brunelle and Vocalessence. Hes appeared all across the upper Midwest and turns up occasionally on Garrison Keillors A Prairie Home Companion.

In 1994 he created an acclaimed radio series The Singer's Voice, broadcast live Sunday nights from the Dakota Jazz Club, then in St. Paul, hosting song-spiked conversation from the piano with a different singer each week, over 200 in the six years of the shows tenure.

As a writer and host he's often asked to create special live programs for Minnesota Public Radio, the MN Historical Society, the Rose Ensemble and others. His show Civil War Homecoming played at the Fitzgerald Theater in March, was broadcast on MPR in April, and televised in November on Twin Cities Public Television. Last year his show Steerage Song was on tour throughout Minnesota, a show co-authored with Peter Rothstein about the Ellis Island era of immigration to the US, depicted in folk songs, newspaper clippings and Tin Pan Alley tunes. In 2014 his show Cafe Europa was broadcast statewide, about bicycling with an accordion from Naples to Normandy in search of Minnesota WWII stories.

As a writer his work has been published in Minnesota Monthly, Saint Johns Magazine, the Minnesota Orchestras Showcase magazine and in the Minneapolis StarTribune.

Hes traveled extensively in France and Italy, with bicycle and without, and has presented French and Italian sing-alongs at the Alliance Française in Minneapolis. This past summer he spent two months working in Italy on an independent Hollywood film to be released early next year, a movie with the working title, Smitten!

Hes a musical consultant and sometime bandleader at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Community in South Minneapolis, and leads monthly community sing-alongs in downtown Minneapolis and St. Anthony Park.

He grew up in a big musical family near Lindstrom MN, attended St. Johns University in Collegeville MN and spent four years as a teacher of French and Italian as a graduate student at the University of Minnesota.
