One of the Northwest’s most beloved entertainers, Stan Boreson, will perform with the 110-voice Sno-King Community Chorale in its annual holiday concert 3:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 12, at Edmonds Center for the Arts.

Boreson, the “King of Scandinavian Humor,” has been performing before audiences with his accordion and zany songs for some 60 years. He appeared for 18 years on several Seattle television shows, including his longest-running and most successful “King’s Klubhouse.”

On a dare, he began doing Scandinavian dialect songs by transforming popular American songs into humorous Norwegian and Swedish renditions. He has made numerous recordings and currently has 16 CDs, two videos and three DVDs on the market. His latest album is entitled, “Just Don’t Look Good Naked Anymore.” Audiences remember him most for his Christmas songs which are now featured on two CDs, “Stan Boreson Fractures Christmas” and “Yust Go Nuts at Christmas.”

Colorful costuming and fun choreography will accompany the music, familiar tunes with new arrangements as well as new selections.

The Sno-King Community Chorale has been performing since 2002 under the direction of Frank DeMiero. SKCC presents challenging and diverse musical literature in a broad range of innovative and entertaining styles. The addition of instrumentalists, from jazz guitarists to classical orchestras, along with staging and costuming, makes each concert unique.

The Chorale has begun past holiday seasons with performances of “Amahl and the Night Visitors” and Vivaldi’s “Gloria,” as well as selections such as Pachelbel’s “Canon,” “Ose Shalom,” “Zum Gali” and traditional carols and holiday themes from around the world.
