Deeply rooted in the syncopated traditions of New Orleans, Davis explores the rich textures of the Crescent City, paying homage to the masters who defined the sound: James Booker, Professor Longhair, Allen Toussaint, Dr. John, and Harry Connick Jr. The performance balances these storied classics with Davis’s own solo compositions, showcasing a technical command and extensive knowledge of the New Orleans style in his own music.

While he is widely recognized as the Hammond organist for the 2026 Juno-nominated band Secondhand Dreamcar, this performance highlights Davis’s individual mastery. His recent contributions to the genre have earned him a nomination for Keyboard Player of the Year at the 2026 Canadian Blues Music Awards. This is a rare opportunity to hear Rooster bring the sound of NOLA piano music to the Yardbird Suite.
