Tom McDermott - a solo show
Tom McDermott is one of New Orleans’ most distinctive pianists—a modern day keeper of the city’s piano lineage who moves effortlessly between ragtime, traditional jazz, R&B, and Brazilian choro. With a career spanning over four decades, he embodies the Crescent City’s spirit: deep-rooted in tradition yet always open to new ideas and rhythms from around the world.
Born in St. Louis in 1957, McDermott began studying piano at seven and turned professional by sixteen. After earning a Master of Music degree, he moved to New Orleans in 1984 where he quickly became a go‑to pianist for traditional jazz and R&B, holding down gigs with legends and ensembles such as the Dukes of Dixieland. He has also performed with New Orleans heroes such as Pete Fountain, Irma Thomas and Gatemouth Brown. He co-founded and arranged for the Grammy award-winning brass band, the New Orleans Nightcrawlers. His performances with The Dukes of Dixieland placed him in Carnegie Hall, Germany, Denmark, Peru, Japan, and much of America. He has also performed solo in most of the states in the U.S. and in many foreign countries around the world.
McDermott is known for a style that mixes the percussive drive of Professor Longhair, the rhythmic sophistication of James Booker, and the syncopated bounce of classic ragtime—then filters it all through his own imaginative voice. Since 2001 he has made 16 trips to Brazil, absorbing and recording choro, a form often called “Brazilian ragtime,” which he now weaves into his New Orleans repertoire, creating a rich, cross‑Atlantic sound.
McDermott has released 17 albums showcasing his work in solo piano, small‑ensemble jazz such as the Dukes of Dixieland, and inventive brass‑band projects. His music has been praised by major publications such as The New York Times (five reviews), Rolling Stone, Wall Street Journal, and the Los Angeles Times. His tunes were licensed for the soundtrack of HBO’s Treme, where he also appeared on camera as himself.
When you hear Tom McDermott at the keyboard, you’re not just getting a concert—you’re stepping into a living archive of New Orleans piano history, seasoned with, warmth, and a touch of Brazilian flair.

Appropriate - Every estranged member of the Lafayette clan has descended upon the crumbling Arkansas homestead to settle the accounts of the newly dead patriarch. As the three adult children sort through a lifetime of their father’s hoarded mementos and junk, they collide over clutter, debt and a disturbing discovery hiding among their father’s possessions. This 2024 Tony Award winning play uses biting humor to explore a bruising family gathering.

The state of the modern American family is put under a microscope in this trio of iconic plays. Tense, dramatic, hilarious at times, disturbing at others, these plays show how families respond to extreme events and pressures, drawing closer together, confronting trauma, flying apart. How much of your own family life will you see reflected in these stories?
Fairview - This 2019 Pulitzer Prize winning comedy follows a middle class African American family as they prepare for a birthday dinner for their grandmother, an event watched by four white people. The mother wants the party to be perfect, her sister can’t be bothered, the father doesn’t seem to listen, her brother is missing, her daughter is a teenager! The first act hilarity quicky turns into a gripping examination of family and white supremacy.

Ryan Wapnowski - Yell Echo Album Release Show
Come celebrate an evening with Ryan Wapnowski as he debuts his long awaited solo album. Listen to him play a dented, tinny, out of tune saxophone he’s had for over 30 years, accompanied by a synth keyboard that doesn’t always work. Watch as he layers somewhat harmonized sounds into a tapestry of loops that he rarely synchronizes correctly. And pay close attention to how each song sounds basically the same because he doesn't play outside of the D Major scale. But through all that mess, enjoy an evening with an artist driven by a passion for authentic expression.
Doors Open: 7:00PM, show starts at 7:30pm
Cost: $10 (tickets purchased at event, cash or Venmo QR)
Contact for questions: Ryan Wapnowski
