Join Move to Martinsville and Piedmont Arts for an evening of New Orleans piano with John “Papa” Gros at 6:30 p.m., Thursday, May 28, at Piedmont Arts.
Gros is a New Orleans pianist, organist, and singer-songwriter whose career reflects the city itself — resilient, rhythmic, steeped in tradition, and always evolving. For more than 30 years, he has served as both a keeper and a translator of New Orleans music, blending funk, R&B, jazz, blues, rock, and Americana into a sound that is deeply rooted yet forward-looking.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Concert begins at 7 p.m. Admission is $20 per person. Beer and wine will be available at the cash bar.
This event is sponsored by Move to Martinsville and Music in the Box. It is part of their French Quarter Musical Mini Series, an intimate, three-show celebration of New Orleans-inspired music. Each performance takes place at a different partner venue, offering a unique setting while highlighting the rich arts scene of Martinsville and Henry County. Other events in the series include:
