“Jon Cleary is the ninth wonder in the world.” - Bonnie Raitt

In the hallowed ranks of New Orleans “piano professors,” Jon Cleary is on the tenure track. Born in England, then having emigrated to New Orleans, Jon Cleary combines soulful vocals and masterful piano skills with a knack for composing infectious, hook-laden melodies atop Crescent City grooves. Cleary regularly performs as a guest star with artists ranging from Bonnie Raitt to John Scofield to Taj Mahal. His solo performance last year as the opener for Dr. John was a knockout, and we’re thrilled he’s back. Jon first appeared in Victoria at JazzFest in 1991.
