“Coming from a family of musicians in New Orleans, it is no surprise that Grammy-winning soul artist Jon Batiste showed musical talent early in life.
He was introduced to show business through his father Michael Batiste who played in a family jazz group, Batiste Brothers Band, and he began taking piano lessons with an esteemed instructor at eight years old. As it turns out, those lessons would pay off.
Now a Grammy-winning soul artist, Jon Batiste joined ProMusica and performed a packed, yet intimate at the Southern Theatre in early May.
It was amazing how one man could enter the room and immediately change the energy entirely.”
