John Boutte’s shows are all about energy and soul. His gorgeous voice and deep groove make standards like Fly Me To the Moon fresh again. He can evoke Sam Cooke, but his spirit is all New Orleans. His ace band (Caleb Tokarska guitar, Chris Gestrin piano, Nobumasa Osaki bass) knows when to add subtle shadings and when to swing!

“Mr. Boutté can often evoke the sound of Sam Cooke. But his stage manner, his choice of repertory and his rapport with musicians all point back to New Orleans. It’s hard to imagine him settled in any place else.” – The New York Times
