He has shared the stage with world-renowned musicians Aerosmith and Garrison Keillor. He even inspired the Grammy award-winning song Spoonman by Soundgarden and has been a guest on The Late Show with David Letterman. Now Artis “The Spoonman” is the star of an exclusive entertaining video as part of Dairy Queen®’s newly redesigned Blizzard® Fan Club Web site at www.blizzardfanclub.com.

Oh, the things he can do with two red spoons! On the site, visitors will find video of Spoonman playing blues, classical, country, punk and five other musical styles with his signature spoons. Any of these videos of the world’s greatest spoons player can be emailed to family and friends.

Today the Blizzard Fan Club is nearly 1.4 million members strong. All fans will enjoy the newly redesigned Blizzard Fan Club Web site, the first step in a multi-phase process where the current, successful fan club will evolve into an online community where Blizzard fanatics will love to visit and interact. In addition to “SpoonTones”, the site now includes the following fun, quirky interactive features:
