The Midwest music scene is about to witness the end of an era. Tonic Sol-fa, the Emmy-winning a cappella group that has captivated audiences for decades, is taking the stage one last time with their End of an Era tour. While fans across four states will have the chance to experience their signature harmonies and infectious energy, one show stands out as a true Hidden Gem—their performance in St. Cloud, Minnesota.
Coming Full Circle: St. Cloud’s Special Meaning
For Tonic Sol-fa, St. Cloud isn’t just another stop on the tour—it’s where their story began. The group got its start at St. John’s Prep, a place filled with memories of late-night rehearsals, early performances, and the foundation of a career that would take them to national stages. Returning to St. Cloud for one of their final performances is a full-circle moment, making this show extra special for both the group and their fans.
During our conversation with vocalist Shaun Johnson, he reflected on their deep connection with the venue, Paramount Center For The Arts, and how this performance will feel like a homecoming.
“I want to say St. Cloud was one of the first beautiful theaters we did, and I remember thinking, ‘Oh my gosh.’ Being in a theater like the Paramount in St. Cloud, not only was it cool then, but it still is.”
What to Expect at the St. Cloud Show
If you’ve never seen Tonic Sol-fa live, this is your last chance to experience their one-of-a-kind blend of tight harmonies, clever arrangements, and engaging stage presence. Unlike traditional a cappella groups, Tonic Sol-fa brings a modern, energetic twist to the genre, making their performances both musically impressive and incredibly fun.
At the St. Cloud show, fans can expect:
🎶 Classic Tonic Sol-fa hits – Hear fan-favorite songs that have defined their career.
🎤 A mix of nostalgia and new surprises – This tour is a reflection on their journey, featuring throwbacks and fresh performances.
❤️ Personal stories and audience interaction——The group’s connection with its fans is unmatched, and this intimate setting will make for a truly special night.
Shaun emphasized during our interview that this last tour will be similar to past shows and tours but also will have one big underlying theme, saying,
“I think the show will be kind of a celebration. One more time on stage with your friends and celebrating with all the people who have given us a wonderful life.”
