Jolly Holiday
with J3 Vocal Band
Saturday, December 18th 2021 3pm & 7pm
For 27 years collectively, the Johns Family, Dennis, Bonnie and Chad have traveled performing Gospel and Rock and Roll Oldies. We are thankful that a young mans love and passion for music along with his parents, and some sacrifices for his dreams to become a reality, joined together to create this group called J3 Vocal Band.
The Johns Family has worked side by side with many talented musicians along their journey. Over the years, we have all become like family, even though some have had to leave J3 for reasons beyond their control.
Every J3VB show is different in many ways, but you are sure to see wardrobe changes, choreography, laugh a little, maybe even dance a little and enjoy a spectacular one of a kind light show.
You’ll hear favorites from Elvis, The Dave Clark Five, The Bee Gees, Nancy Sinatra and more. Fans come back time and time again to enjoy the J3 family harmonies and enjoy their love of the music they share.e.
J3 Vocal Band followers look forward to the Christmas Holiday season when J3VB includes some of their Christmas favorites like, Jingle Bell Rock, Christmas in Dixie, Blue Christmas, Rockin’ around the Christmas Tree and Mary Did You Know, along with many of the regular oldies to make a Jolly Holiday Christmas Show.
J3 will always be grateful for the years they’ve spent entertaining their fans, making new friends and just having a lot of good clean fun.
Now that Dennis and Bonnie have decided that it’s time for them to leave the stage, we hope to see you at one of J3VB’s farewell Holiday shows. And who knows, they might just show up at one of Chad’s shows sometime.
Dennis, Bonnie and Chad Johns look forward to meeting you at one of their upcoming events.
Sincerely,
J3
