About

Formed in Fargo, North Dakota, the a cappella group The Blenders consists of Tim Kasper, Ryan Lance, Darren Rust and Allan Rust. The foursome first won a following playing colleges and universities in the early ‘90s, releasing their debut album, Totally Whipped, in 1993. Other highlights include the fan-favorite 1997 Christmas album Nog and the group's major-label debut Loveland in 1999, featuring the hit track "(I Am in Love With the) McDonald's Girl." The group has also found success performing on national television shows, including The Arsenio Hall Show and NBC's The Today Show. More recently, the group recorded two more Christmas albums, 2004's Holiday Best, which quickly found its way onto the Billboard charts, and 2005's Most Wonderful Time. Currently based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, The Blenders continues to write and record new music and tour the country.

  • Blenders Concert

    by Carol on 12/13/23Pantages Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    If you ever get the chance you MUST see the Blenders Christmas concert. This was our second one and they just get better and better.

  • Mostly terrific!

    by Buggy on 12/13/23Pantages Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 4 out of 5

    I love the acapella songs so much. The musicians were good, but, for me, the percussion was simply too loud. I often couldn't hear the singing! Other than that...terrific concert!

  • Fantastic holiday show performance

    by Jzir on 12/13/23Pantages Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    The Blenders concert was a wonderful way to get in the mood for the holiday season. I have followed The Blenders for 30+ years and they continue to get better and better. They have the perfect blend of voices to bring songs to life. The Twelve Days of Christmas production never disappoints audiences.

  • Not Enough Words

    by Lynn on 12/13/23Pantages Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    There are not enough nice words to say about this concert. My family has been going to see the Blenders since about 2000. Not once have they disappointed. It is a tradition now with my son and I. The older he gets the more he appreciates their talent. We are already looking forward to next year.

  • Fabulous Blenders Christmas Show

    by Sandie on 12/13/23Pantages Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    The Blenders provide such an upbeat performance with twists on Christmas favorites with their beautiful harmonies. We’ve seen them numerous times & will keep coming back! Having the band to support them adds a lot.

  • They sound good

    by moe on 12/13/23Pantages Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 4 out of 5

    The Blenders all wore mostly gray suits and they looked a little dumpy. I thought they would change but they never did. I purchased parking from parking Wiz when I ordered my blenders tickets. If you go on a Sunday afternoon there's plenty of parking downtown Minneapolis and no need to pay $25 to park for a couple of hours. I probably will not go next year.

  • Love it!

    by Rml00092 on 12/13/23Pantages Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    Great show, great music, never disappoints. Will continue to go every year and so should you.

  • Fabulous Show!

    by Carla on 12/13/23Pantages Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    I have seen the Blenders twice and both times the show was marvelous! The choice of music and the beautiful blending of those 4 voices will make anyone get into the holiday spirit! Well done Blenders! I will see another show of your in the future!

  • Excellent

    by Fan on 12/13/23Pantages Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    Excellent concert as always! You guys make me smile! Thank you for making the season bright!

  • Best show ever!

    by Cathe C on 12/12/23Pantages Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    We have been to every site for the last 20+ years. This show was awesome! The guys get better with age! Can't wait until next year!

  • What a great concert!! Full of energy!

    by Bob on 12/11/23Pantages Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    The Blenders mixed acapella with a high energy back up quartet that complemented their energy. Very tight arrangements and a great blend of holiday standards and music from their repertoire. This concert is a mood changer!

  • The Blenders

    by Kare Bear on 12/11/23Pantages Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 4 out of 5

    It was a great concert. It was opening night and they had a couple of kinks to work out. Other than that, it was great. I'm not totally sold on the sound system in the Pantages theatre. Great venue, but the acoustics need improving.

  • Awesome

    by Knutson family on 12/18/22Pantages Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    This concert was so great, it really got our family in the Christmas spirit. The song choices were spectacular and sounds of the voices were great! They gave an awesome show!

  • Pure Harmonious Holiday JOY!

    by EPCP on 12/15/22Pantages Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    The Blenders Holiday Concert was Pure Harmonious Holiday JOY! It's so good to have them back for their annual Holiday Soul Tour which includes traditional Christmas carols & wonderful original songs, with some soul songs mixed in. This year included Ryan's hillarious 'ballet' accompanying the 12 Days of Christmas! This is one of my Favorite Holiday Traditions! I started out going to the MOA to hear them sing 20 years ago and was hooked! I've been going to their Holiday Concerts for 17 years and enjoy treating my friends & family to join me and fall in love with them too. Many continue to join me. My Chirstmas is not complete without them and I play their CDs throughout the season.

  • Awesome Performance

    by JJ on 12/14/22Pantages Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    These guys always put on a great show - I highly recommend it! Their harmonies are amazing, and they are very interactive with the audience. We have made it a tradition to go to their show every year, and will continue to do so!

  • An afternoon with The Blenders

    by DQ on 12/14/22Pantages Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    After 33 years together, The Blenders continue to give a great musical experience!

  • Awesome, as Always!

    by Kathleen on 12/14/22Pantages Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    The Blenders’ performance was outstanding and fun! These men are so talented! I hadn’t seen them for a few years, so this was especially fun and enjoyable! Such beautiful music!

  • Get ready for Christmas with The Blenders!

    by JOJO on 12/14/22Pantages Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    It's so wonderful to see The Blenders again! We've missed them! Nothing says Christmas spirit better than seeing a Blenders concert. They are FANTASTIC! i never want the concert to end- best part of my Christmas!

  • Phenomenal show!!

    by CAM on 12/13/22Pantages Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    I believe we’ve been seeing The Blenders Christmas show for 26 years now. We’ve been taking our kids and now their spouses join us, too. We all agreed this show was one of their best to date!! This is a tradition we all look forward to each year. Thank you for helping get us into the Christmas spirit!

  • Followed them since their day 1

    by DeeDee on 12/13/22Pantages Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 4 out of 5

    Love these guys like brothers. Wish I could marry Allen. :) Wish they were 100% back to NO BAND. As we get older you will lose more of us because its just too loud and it blows your voices out of the water. :(
