DESCRIPTION:"Sharing New Orleans with the world is my calling" – John "Pa
 pa" Gros\n\nNew Orleans has had its fair share of musical ambassadors\, bu

  Crescent City than John "Papa" Gros. Born and raised in the city\, John m

 nd unmistakably New Orleans\n\nGros launched his solo piano career in the 
 early 1990's\, quickly gaining the attention of marquee artists such as Ge
 orge Porter Jr and Snooks Eaglin\, who both brought him on board as a supp
 orting musician. As he sat behind the piano keys backing up some of the ci
 ty's most iconic musicians\, he soaked in a lifetime of experience and con
 tinued to develop his craft. He released his solo debut Days End. The next
  dozen years would be dedicated to leading and recording six albums with h
 is band Papa Grows Funk. He returned to solo work with 2016 River on Fire 
 and cemented his legacy as part of New Orleans with Central City 2020.\n\n
