John "Papa" Gros is keyboardist, vocalist and founder of the New Orleans based funk group "Papa grows funk". Rooted in improvisation, the group of all-star musicians led by Hammond B3 keyboardist and lead vocalist, John "Papa" Gros, has built its enthusiastic vibe on a long-standing musical tradition that dates back to the hot jazz of the legends, Fats Domino and Louis Armstrong. Like Dr. John and the Neville Brothers, Papa Grows Funk keeps that New Orleans lineage alive while always funkifying towards the future.
