Sean and Ian Okamoto: Timeless Tunes with a Family Harmony
Enjoy an evening of music that bridges generations with Sean & Ian Okamoto, a dynamic father-son duo from Northern Wisconsin. With over 50 years of experience on guitar and vocals, Sean Okamoto brings the heart of the classic Chicago music scene to the stage, while his son Ian adds youthful energy and skillful piano playing that has wowed crowds since he was just 14 years old.
Together, they blend timeless favorites and modern hits into a sound that’s both nostalgic and fresh. From 1940s bops to today’s chart-toppers, their performances are a crowd-pleasing mix of melody, harmony, and heartfelt connection. Whether playing small-town venues or large stages like the Miami International Boat Show and Ashley for the Arts, their passion for music and the joy they share on stage is unmistakable.
Their talent even earned them a golden ticket on Season 22 of American Idol, but what really sets them apart is the musical bond they’ve built over a decade of performing together.
