Nobody personifies the musical culture of New Orleans with more flair than Dr. John. At
74, this six-time Grammy-winning pianist and vocalist “remains a formidable performer, a
force of nature and invention” (Rolling Stone) with his irresistibly funky mix of New Orleans
R&B, boogie-woogie and rock’n’roll. He and his band mix old favorites such as Right Place
Wrong Time with more recent tunes, including selections from his 2014 tribute to Louis
Armstrong and songs from Locked Down, produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys.
