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.
