Join us at The Raleigh Crawfish Festival on Sunday April 6 for an afternoon of Funk, Jazz, Rock and all of the crawfish you can devour! New Orleans legend John “Papa” Gros will be gracing the stage with an incredible set of low country rhythm & blues along with organ phenom Sam Fribush and Raleigh natives Chill Paxton. Grab your tickets today and we’ll see you at the boil!

John “Papa” Gros
John “Papa” Gros is a bedrock New Orleans artist, a keyboardist, singer and songwriter who draws funk, rhythm & blues and Americana songcraft; he also knows his way around the Mardi Gras music repertoire about as well as anyone. 

Chill Paxton
Formed in 2022 in Raleigh, NC, Chill Paxton hit the ground running with a catalog of original music that they are performing live and currently releasing out of the studio. The beauty of Chill Paxton, as with any great band, is the remarkable balance of their sound. It flows freely from each member and swirls into a kinetic convergence.

Sam Fribush
Over the past few years, Fribush has established himself as one of the country’s hottest young bandleaders and People Please pushes the keyboardist’s music into new and uncharted territory, revealing a deep affinity for crispy, wah-wah driven funk, Hip-hop beats and sultry HAMMOND ballads. Says Fribush, “My intention is to take this music into the future. I’m trying to expand the rules about what organ trio music is.”
