The Run, Run Rudolph Tour is the 2026 holiday edition of The Big Band Experience, led by Emmy® Award winner Shaun Johnson, longtime frontman of Tonic Sol-fa and an artist with a Top 5 Billboard® album. Shaun has appeared in national television performances on NBC, and his band’s music has been featured on HBO. The show blends classic big band swing with holiday standards and seasonal favorites, delivered through tight arrangements and a modern stage presentation.
Drawing on more than two decades of national touring, Shaun brings both a vocalist’s and bandleader’s perspective to the holiday repertoire, balancing high-energy performances with familiar songs that define the season. The focus remains on musicianship and ensemble work rather than nostalgia alone.
Backed by a seasoned ensemble, Run, Run Rudolph reflects the performance style that has earned Shaun multiple Entertainer of the Year nominations—engaging and audience-forward—resulting in a holiday concert that feels both classic and current.
