For a guaranteed to-tappin' time, don't miss the kick-off to the Jumpin' Jehosafats' Annual World Tour of Northern Minnesota! Details on the rest of the tours are forthcoming. 

The Jumpin' Jehosafats have been blending traditional jazz and Gospel for more than twenty-five years, raising money for charity and lifting spirits. The men and women of this group play a total of thirteen instruments - horns, piano, drums, strings, and flute among them - as well as sign together. They have played community concerts, prisons, riverboats, churches, nursing homes, state fairs, and homeless shelters in the Upper Midwest, and also toured Haiti and Jamaica. They have been featured artists with the Twin Cities Jazz Society Concert Series and played for numerous local, regional, and national events for the United Methodist Church. They have released two CDs, the first entitled "I'm Movin' On" and the second, "Blessed are the Peacemakers," both with traditional and original tunes, the latter written by its members.
