John Trones is a Minneapolis native and a familiar face on the theatre and music scene. He has spent much of the past nine years touring and sharing his music with audiences across the Unites States and throughout Asia and Europe. Since 1999 he has toured with singer Olivia Newton-John and recording artist Jim Brickman, performing in Jim Brickman's Holiday Tour and as a guest vocalist with the Toledo Symphony at their Millennium concert. In 2002, John was signed to Universal Records and released his first album, Forward, which quickly jumped up the charts throughout Asia, debuting at #10 on the Philippine charts. That same year he released Holiday in the United States, and in 2004, his third album, Romance, followed by another release of holiday music two years ago titled Joy.
Aside from touring and recording, John has been busy on the silver screen, both big and small, having played the lead character in the cable television sitcom, Paradise Inn, and appearing in a number of commercials. John has appeared in several independent feature films and most recently filmed scenes for Street Hassle in February of ’08. His professional theatrical productions include; Oklahoma, Brigadoon, The Pajama Game, Boy, Oh Boy!, Debbie Does Dallas the Musical, 3Way, End of the World Party, Twilight of the Golds, Corpus Christi, Jeffrey, Party, Godspell, the brilliant comedy, Twelfth Night and most recently 1940’s Radio Hour. As a co-founder of the Twin Cities theatre/production company 8 Ball Theatre, he and partner Jon Mikkelsen mounted the nostalgic and highly successful holiday show The 1940’s Radio Hour in December 2007 at the Hennepin Stages Theatre and which is slated to return this December! John has written and produced his signature holiday show, John Trones, Christmas in the City, for the past five years in December at the Pantages Theatre, and that show is set to return again this year with special guest, Jim Brickman.
Coming up in the near future for John is the return of 3Way later this summer at Hennepin Stages, a Wisconsin concert tour with Jim Brickman in September, The 1940’s Radio Hour returning to Hennepin Stages in December, and John Trones, Christmas in the City, December 8th at the Pantages Theatre.
