Dr. John & The Nite Trippers and Aaron Neville

The Grand 1894 Opera House presents Dr. John & The Nite Trippers and Aaron Neville.

Two true icons of American culture deliver one night of high-flying entertainment!

From Dr. John’s “voodoo”  boogie and blues to Aaron Neville’s melodious soul and doo-woop, these native sons radiate with the community pride and musical panache of their native New Orleans home.

Performing separately, with their incredible backup bands, Dr. John (pictured, top) and Aaron (pictured, bottom) will have the “Big Easy” running  through your veins.

Just as his presence evokes curiosity, Dr. John's demeanor oozes New Orleans. This formidable boogie and blues pianist with a lovable vocal growl has been awarded 6 Grammys with 6 other Grammy nominations and was inducted into the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame by John Legend.

In 2013, Dr. John was awarded an honorary doctorate from Tulane University alongside His Holiness, the Dalai Lama. Dr. John’s ability to stay so relevant through the years has been enhanced by his many collaborations with contemporary artists, bringing about a new audience to experience his sound. Everyone from the electronic outfit Spiritualized to Paul Weller, Derek Trucks, and even multi-Grammy winner Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys have recorded with Dr. John, making him an authentic musician sought to complete original and eclectic sounds.

Joining Dr. John is fellow New Orleans statesman, Aaron Neville. Heralded for his unique vocal contributions to the Neville Brothers, Aaron’s sweet falsetto and Cajun and Creole-influenced R&B have led to acclaimed collaborations with the likes of Linda Ronstadt, Trisha Yearwood, Chaka Khan, and Mavis Staples.

He has had four top-20 hits in the United States along with four platinum-certified albums. A recent inductee into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame, Neville continues to entertain audiences worldwide with his heart-felt blend of soul and R&B.
