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.

    Hard to believe that these guys keep getting better every year! The show was excellent and the variety of the music was refreshing! Can't wait for their next concert!

  • The Blenders - great sound, but not very Christmas

    by oldyork on 12/16/14Pantages Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 2 out of 5

    The music itself was good -- however, for a holiday concert it was lacking. We left missing the Christmas spirit we had hoped to be filled with. JL

  • The Blenders are an amazing performers!!! So good!

    by wildhen on 12/15/14Pantages Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    Great performers and amazing singers. Good to see guys from Fargo, ND doing so well after being together for 25 years. It appears they have so much fun together which is great to see!

  • The Blenders performance was fabulous!

    by Anonymous on 12/15/14Pantages Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    The musical caliber of this group is amazing. The blend of their tone is as smooth as silk. They are entertaining and keep the audience engaged for the entire show!

  • Blenders missed the holiday spirit.

    I am a big fan if The Blenders and have attended several previous concerts and play their Christmas CDs non-stop. This one disappointed as it was not a Christmas concert as billed. The few Christmas songs were fabulous yet they failed to give a holiday spirit.

  • by Shons on 12/15/14Pantages Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    I loved this concert! Pantages is a great venue. The sound was excellent and the show was festive, fun, & filled with variety of music. It was a great holiday show! I hope to be able to go again. I love their musicality!

    The tickets were a gift. Last saw them 10 to 15 years ago. Awesome concert, what more could be said.

    Great show!!! It was our first time seeing them and they put on a really fun show. Perfect way to start off the holiday season and put you in the Christmas mood. They are amazing talented performers. We have decided to make this a yearly tradition as long as they come back every year. Definitely would recommend this show!!!!

  • Christmas Tradition

    The Blenders have become a Christmas tradition because they are so great! Go see them!

  • The Blenders were the best yet!

    I know the Blenders personally through my daughter, so it is always wonderful to see them again. I think they have improved every year.

  • Show within a show.

    by ginnielouann on 12/20/13Des Moines Performing Arts - Civic Center - Des MoinesRating: 5 out of 5

    These guys never disappoint and every show is fresh. They imbue each performance with new material and visual treats. It is always like getting a show within a show--sometimes several shows. There is never enough time in a single performance to showcase their vast range of material, but they manage to cover a great deal almost effortlessly, though the energy is high and contagious. Can't wait to catch their next engagement in DM.

  • Awesome

    by pbrad on 12/20/13Des Moines Performing Arts - Civic Center - Des MoinesRating: 5 out of 5

    Even though I have been going to see them every year for the past 10 years I am never disappointed. I just can't believe that the place is not packed because they are so talented and anyone who loves music is really missing out if they don't see this group.
