A nostalgic, underground ragtime artist.
Piano virtuoso Dom Pipkin is one of Europe’s top exponents of New Orleans rhythm and blues. Pipkin breathes new life into the classic funk sounds of The Meters, Dr. John, Fats Domino and Professor Longhair, with these influences emerging in his own irresistible songwriting. His classical and sometimes rhapsodic influences are married with a tough approach to the blues and driving left hand rhythms. Pipkin delivers the most authentic and compelling take on this highly infectious and life affirming blend of blues, gospel, street and jazz that is uniquely New Orleans, with a stellar list of international festivals and radio and TV appearances and fans ranging from Jonathan Ross, Hugh Laurie, David Arnold, and Jamie Cullum. Pipkin travels the world as the keyboard player with trip-hop pioneers Morcheeba he was Musical Director for Paloma Faith and has played for Paul Weller, Laura Mvula, Ray Davies, Pee Wee Ellis and John Newman to name a few, but has always kept a close connection to his second home, New Orleans. A regular visitor to the Crescent City for 15 years, he has performed at the Jazz and Heritage Festival, at the world famous New Orleans “Piano Night”, and alongside its musical legends Allen Toussaint, Lilian Boutte, Jon Cleary, Ellis Marsalis and Marcia Ball. He has supported Dr John, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins and the Blind Boys of Alabama, and performed for film director Stanley Kubrik.
Dom Pipkin plays New Orleans rhythm and blues, ragtime, and boogie-woogie piano, heavily influenced by artists like Dr. John and Professor Longhair.
