Jon ClearyJon Cleary

Grammy Award-winning pianist, vocalist, and songwriter Jon Cleary has spent more than three decades at the forefront of New Orleans funk, R&B, and soul. His latest release, The Bywater Sessions, captures Cleary and his acclaimed band, the Absolute Monster Gentlemen, live in the studio-delivering the deep grooves, joyful energy, and rich musicianship that have made them a staple of the New Orleans music scene and international stages alike. A longtime fixture of the New Orleans scene, Cleary has performed with legends including Dr. John, Bonnie Raitt, and Taj Mahal. His Grammy-winning album Go-Go Juice helped solidify his reputation as one of today's leading interpreters and innovators of New Orleans music. Rolling Stone's David Fricke praised the band as "as broad, deep and rolling as the Mississippi River."
