Daniel LeClaire is a jazz/pop/soul singer songwriter currently residing in Los Angeles. After opening the Book of Mormon first national tour with over 1,200 performances, he set off to St. Louis and helped open a jazz speakeasy. Soon after, he recorded his first pop album, “High”, in Los Angeles. Since then he has sung for Betty White’s 90th Birthday Special televised on NBC, performed at the Hollywood Bowl, and most recently sold out Birdland jazz club in New York City, with his concert, “Jazz. Soul. Original.”
Daniel has shared the stage with world renowned performers such as Mary Tyler Moore, Nick Jonas, John Stamos, All American Rejects, Amy Poehler, Carol Burnett, Wayne Newton, and many more. He has performed around the world at venues like the Kennedy Center, The Fabulous Fox in St. Louis, and Place des Arts in Montreal. Daniel’s concerts are high energy and low maintenance. They are freeing, fun, and all about connecting through a “feel good” release. Daniel is now touring his brand new album, “21st Century Standard”, internationally at jazz clubs, amphitheaters, performing arts centers, and music festivals. His music is meant to move you and his concerts will always leave you wanting more.

Community First Credit Union has graciously offered to promote our holiday concert with radio advertising. It will run from October 27 – November 19 on WOMT (1240am/107.9 FM).
A wonderful gesture on the part of Community First Credit Union.
Before the concert, Jim Miller offers a free lecture on the music and composers. His talks are always a good time, informative for sure, and sometimes hilariously filled with gossip and hearsay. Don’t miss them.
Jim’s talks have been dubbed “Informances” and are held from 6:45-7:10pm in the theatre.
