Booty shaking party music best sums up the inimitable John “Papa” Gros Band. Rooted in improvisations, the group of all-star musicians is led by Hammond B3 keyboardist and lead vocalist John Gros. Featuring Brian Stoltz on guitar, Eric Bolivar on drums, Eric Vogel on Bass, the John “Papa” Gros Band has built its enthusiastic vibe on a long-standing musical tradition that dates back to the hot jazz of legends Fats Domino and Louis Armstrong.
