The New Standards has grown into a globe-spanning adventure, filling theaters and clubs around the world and spawning several CDs, videos, cartoons, and dance and theater projects that have charmed and delighted an ever-multiplying legion of faithful fans. The New Standards, the minimalist jazz trio formed in Minneapolis in 2005 and composed of Chan Poling (of The Suburbs) , John Munson (of the Twilight Hours, Semisonic, Trip Shakespeare and The Flops) and Steve Roehm (of Electopolis, Rhombus and Billy Goat) are returning to the State Theatre. With Poling on piano, Munson on bass and Roehm on vibraphone, the band reinterprets songs from a wide variety of genres, from classics like Roger and Hammerstein’s My Favorite Things to London Calling by The Clash.
