Dr John & The Lower 911 (USA)

New Orleans Piano Playing ‘hoodoo’ Legend Hits Town

Six times Grammy-award winning jazz legend Dr John will seduce the Bay with his musical gumbo –an exotic brew of jazz, soul, blues, funk, R&B, boogie-woogie and Creole roots.

Igniting the jazz world for over half a century this charismatic singer and pianist is a staple of the New Orleans music scene and is universally celebrated as a living embodiment of Jazz - he even had a Muppet created in his honour.

Performing and recording with many artists including Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton, Sonny and Cher, Van Morrison, and Aretha Franklin to name a few, his impressivelist of Grammy awards include the recent ‘2008 Best Contemporary Blues Album for ‘City that Care Forgot’ an album of lament for his native New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

Ladies and Gentlemen book your date with music history: the doctor is in the house!
