Jon Cleary & the Absolute Monster Gentlemen w/ Special Guest Nigel Hall
Jon Cleary is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, arranger, and producer. His 2016 Go Go Juice album went on to earn him his first GRAMMY.
Cleary has spent the last 20 years consistently winning New Orleans music awards including Best Piano/Keyboard Player, Best Louisiana Artist, and Record of the Year from OffBeat, as well as several Gambit New Orleans ‘Best Of’s. In 2017 he was presented with the prestigious Ascona Jazz award. In 2020 he was named the “Best International Blues Act” by UK tastemaker JazzFM.
Today, the music continues. Cleary and the Absolute Monster Gentlemen tour all over the world on an almost never-ending basis, while maintaining a robust local schedule in New Orleans.
GRAMMY-winning Soul provider Nigel Hall is an artist who needs no introduction. Throughout his career, he’s built a mighty foundation of funk, onstage and in the studio, proving himself to be a true student of the music. His unique sound, built upon pages torn out of the golden ages of R&B, funk, and soul, have made him the musician he is today; an accomplished vocalist, keyboardist, studio musician, and member of the GRAMMY-nominated funk-jazz-soul-hip-hop-psychedelic-jam-experimental titans Lettuce.
