Johnnie Brown‘s raspy baritone voice delivers classic R&B/soul better than anyone in the country. His solo shows deliver the music of “The Sound of Philadelphia” like it was meant to be played. Brown brings the excitement, musicianship, and lyrics from the pinnacle of R&B alive again. Johnnie presents songs from some of your favorite artists such as The O’Jays, Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson and many more. 

A three-time Emmy Award-winning actor, vocalist, arts educator and community organizer, T. Mychael Rambo is a long-standing pillar of the Twin Cities arts community.

Mychael has made an indelible mark in the Twin Cities performing principal roles at such theaters as the Guthrie, Ordway Theatre, Illusion Theatre, Mixed Blood, Park Square Theatre, Ten Thousand Things, Children’s Theatre and Minnesota Opera among others.
