Overview

• On August 11, an Alaska Airlines flight from St. Louis to Seattle diverted to Boise after crew members timed out and the aircraft had a mechanical issue.
• While the plane sat on the tarmac in Boise, Dave Koz and fellow Summer Horns musicians played Stevie Wonder’s You Haven’t Done Nothin’ in the aisle at the crew’s request.
• Passengers smiled, swayed, and filmed as Koz, Marcus Anderson, and others performed a single song that the musicians said lifted the cabin’s mood.
• Video of the impromptu performance went viral, with reporting citing more than 2 million views across Instagram and Facebook.
• Koz said the tour has faced repeated travel disruptions since mid-July, including two canceled shows tied to travel problems.
