Matt Johnson & The New Jet Set return to The Playhouse December 20 & 21 at 8:00 PM with a festive, foot‑tapping holiday show you won’t want to miss.

Known for their “retro‑cool jazz interpretations of beloved classics,” the band — led by celebrated drummer Matt Johnson — brings the seasonal spirit to life with swinging arrangements, charming storytelling, and audience sing‑alongs. This festive edition expands on their well-loved format —think holiday tunes sung big‑band style, interactive fun and behind‑the‑scenes anecdotes woven into every song.

You may recall their last Playhouse appearance when they performed Swingin’ the Disney Songbook — a magical journey through Disney favorites. Audiences raved: “Johnson possesses encyclopedia‑like knowledge of everything Disney,” and Adryon’s “sassy Broadway‑like singing” added even more energy.

What to Expect:

A festive mix of holiday classics and sing‑along favorites in swing, bebop, and big‑band jazz arrangements.
Engaging narration from Matt Johnson offering behind‑the‑music insights and stories.
A charismatic ensemble featuring world‑class musicians and a captivating lead vocalist.
An interactive, family‑friendly experience with plenty of cheer for audiences of all ages.

Tickets: $25
