“A Special Jazz Fest Live – We’ve decided to extend the show to a double billing to include vocalist Ginger Commodore in addition to existing act, Joan Hutton and her band all to bring you a special night of music with two great Twin Cities bands LIVE from the Dakota in downtown Minneapolis.” .

Joan Hutton is a Minneapolis-based performer, music educator and composer, originally from Toronto, Canada.  In 2017  she launched the Joan Hutton Jazz Project to perform her original jazz compositions and has since become a regular on the Twin Cities jazz scene. Joan and fellow multi-woodwind player David Milne use various combinations of woodwinds, ranging from flute to saxophones to bass clarinet, to bring her music to life in a wide palette of moods and colors.
