Sun 20 Jul, 9-10.30pm The Famous Spiegeltent, St Andrew Square
Combining the rhythms of New Orleans and old school soul and blues, Jon Cleary creates an explosive blues-funk party. “Cleary’s salty-sweet voice, masterful piano skills and a knack from coupling infectious grooves with melodic hooks and sharp lyrics combine for r’n’b as broad, deep and rolling as the Mississippi river”(Rolling Stone). Cleary’s Grammy winning band is the toast of New Orleans, paying homage to the classic Crescent City keyboard repertoire created by such icons as Jelly Roll Morton, Fats Domino and Dr. John.
