I’m delighted to announce that renowned New Orleans pianist, organist, singer and songwriter John ‘Papa’ Gros is coming to the UK in September for a short solo tour. 🎹⚜️

“A true torchbearer of the New Orleans piano tradition, Gros stands in the mighty lineage of Dr. John, Professor Longhair, Allen Toussaint and Art Neville — blending swamp funk, Mardi Gras rhythms, deep Southern soul, jazz, blues and Hammond organ grooves into one explosive live experience.

From tearing up the legendary Maple Leaf Bar with Papa Grows Funk…To performing alongside George Porter Jr., Irma Thomas and New Orleans royalty…To appearing in HBO’s Treme and carrying the sound of Louisiana across the world…

John “Papa” Gros doesn’t just play New Orleans music…
HE LIVES IT.

Allen Toussaint once said:
‘With John, there is a marvelous difference and it’s to the bone.’ “

First stop is Barnoldswick Music and Arts Centre on Friday 18th September. Tickets are already selling fast! Get yours soon from the link in bio 👍🏼
