John "Papa" Gros - River's On Fire CD - Born in New Orleans, John "Papa" Gros has spent more than a quarter-century championing the music of the Big Easy. He's played it all -- New Orleans funk, rock & roll, jazz, blues, Americana, pop/rock -- and he swirls those styles into a genre-bending gumbo that pays tribute to his influences while still pushing ahead into new territory. Like Allen Toussaint and Dr. John, Gros is a proud local who carries on the tradition of New Orleans music, both honoring its past and helping to shape its future.

Fans and tourists crowded the bar every Monday night, looking for Papa Grows Funk to dish out a greasy, groove-heavy serving of Big Easy funk. The band delivered, releasing six critically-acclaimed albums -- including Needle in the Groove, which was co-produced by Nola legend Allen Toussaint, and a this live record that captured Papa Grows Funk's last Monday night at the Maple Leaf Bar.
