Meet the Band: John (Tuba)

 John  plays Tuba and has been with us since 2007.  He enjoys our "casual atmosphere with the opportunity to continue playing music with a group."  When he's not in the band, he works at the U of MN Libraries and loves to travel.

In fact, he'd be a travel writer if he could, as well as learn to play the bassoon. And speaking of playing other instruments, John has played electric bass and upright bass for some songs with us over the years.

In fact, back in the day, he played bass guitar with a couple of local rocks bands. Rock on!

He's "curious about brass instruments" and would choose trumpet if he could play something different.

 Fun fact--Leroy Anderson is his favorite when it comes to Christmas songs.  So he is actually thrilled when we play Sleigh Ride every year.. a classic!
