SPRING 2023
Shoehorn sang his song about an encounter with wildlife at the Moisture Festival in Seattle on April 9. "A Beaver Sings" is based on actual events and has a catchy singalong chorus. Here is a link to the video on the youtube channel, which we encourage you to like and follow, and check out all the other content, from live shows to studio sessions and clips filmed at home and out in nature!
Check the calendar page for updates about other shows coming up, including some dates with Leapin' Louie and Rhys Thomas; Smut City Jellyroll Society; and a featured spot on Reggio the Hoofer's Tap Day Celebration at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago May 28.

In addition to local gigs during the holiday season you can catch Shoehorn with The Norman Sylvester Band at Skamania Lodge on New Year's Eve!
Shoehorn began his musical journey over 40 years ago as a street performer in New Orleans, where he got his first pair of tap shoes. He went on to perform in 30 countries and most of the states, and has released 6 full-length CDs featuring his original tunes. He plays a lot of instruments but is best known for simultaneously playing sax and tap dancing. Shoehorn knows the history of Tap, Jazz, and Vaudeville, and carries that tradition forward in his original style.
Fall Update: Autumn is here and we here at shoehornmusic.com are gradually filling in the calendar for the season and the coming holidays. Reach out if you need a solo show, a guest performer, or a band to make your event unforgettable!
Summer is almost over. Sadly, Shoehorn was out with covid for the Cathedral Park show, but was soon back in action with other gigs, solo shows, and events with Smut City Jellyroll Society and Norman Sylvester. And 2-3 thousand people sang along with his new novelty song, A Beaver Sings, at the Midnight Show at Oregon Country Fair. (a song based on actual events!)
