Pianist and organist John "Papa" Gros has spent over three decades sharing the vibrant sounds of New Orleans with the world. "Sharing New Orleans with the world is my calling," he says. Gros blends funk, traditional jazz, brass band, and blues into his signature musical gumbo, bringing the city's celebratory culture to audiences globally. A graduate of Loyola University with a degree in French Horn, Gros began performing at fifteen and quickly became a sought-after sideman, supporting New Orleans legends such as George Porter Jr. and Snooks Eaglin. Between 2000 and 2013, he led Papa Grows Funk, releasing six critically acclaimed albums and touring internationally. His third solo album, Central City, showcases his feel-good originals and interpretations of classics by Allen Toussaint, Lloyd Price, and John Prine, featuring some of New Orleans' finest musicians. Reflecting on his journey, Gros notes, "I'm walking in the same path as Dr. John, Allen Toussaint, and Art Neville."
