<div><span style="font-size:14px;">New Orleans’ Jon Cleary is a triple threat—with a salty-sweet voice, masterful piano skills, and a knack for stacking infectious grooves with melodic hooks and sharp lyrics. The anchor of Bonnie Raitt’s band, he is a funky piano wizard with a standout soulful voice who embodies decades of Crescent City music magic, continuing the tradition of R&B giants like Professor Longhair, Dr. John, and Allen Toussaint. Jon Cleary's brilliant new CD, Occapella, is slated for release on April 17 through his own label FHQ Records. For this project, Cleary notes that he is "having fun with the songs of Allen Toussaint." He has chosen a mix of popular and less familiar pieces penned by legendary songwriter Allen Toussaint to re-imagine, like the lesser-known title track as well as better known tunes like "Southern Nights," "Everything I Do Gonh Be Funky," and "Fortune Teller," most recently made popular by Robert Plant/Alison Krauss.</span></div>
