Summer Outdoor Concert Series: John Roberts y Pan Blanco

In the Shane Center Pavilion: Afro Cuban Jazz/Funk/Salsa: John Roberts began playing the piano at the age of 5 while living on an isolated ranch in Southeastern Montana. After graduating in 1996 from Montana State University-Billings with a BA in Music Performance, John moved to Los Angeles to earn his Master of Fine Arts in Western Orchestral Performance from California Institute of the Arts. He has performed in all 50 of the United States and around the world.
This big, horn based band had the entire pavilion on their feet last summer and brought along salsa instructors who taught the folks on the dance floor some fabulous new moves. It is nearly impossible not to move when the band takes the stage.
