New Orleans piano powerhouse and Mardi Gras legend Jon Cleary returns to Tanks with his GRAMMY-winning band, The Absolute Monster Gentlemen, for a night of deep-groove soul, rhythm and blues straight from the heart of the Crescent City.
A master of the New Orleans piano tradition, Cleary has spent decades honing a sound steeped in rich melodies and unmistakable swing. His playing is equal parts precision and feel – effortless, expressive, and always locked into the groove.
Backed by The Absolute Monster Gentlemen, one of the tightest, most dynamic bands on the circuit, this is a live show that hits hard and moves fast, shifting from laid-back funk to full-throttle soul without missing a beat.
Raw, rhythmic and irresistibly danceable, this is New Orleans music as it’s meant to be heard: live, loud and in full flight.
