WWOZ Piano Night is WWOZ 90.7 FM’s flagship fundraiser and a festival tradition amongst New Orleans music lovers! This year, 28 piano players will perform at the House of Blues on Monday, April 29, 2024 in support of carrying the flame of the New Orleans piano tradition and WWOZ. Doors open at 5pm.

WWOZ Piano Night has two simple goals: (1) honor and celebrate New Orleans piano traditions and (2) raise funds to benefit WWOZ. Patrons are invited to join us for more than five hours of piano from more than two dozen pianists, playing in a range of styles from boogie-woogie to trad jazz, modern jazz to R&B, stride to gospel, and much more.

Historically, WWOZ Piano Night sells out and we expect to for this year, as well!

All Piano Night tickets are now on sale via the House of Blues Box Office.

Piano Night VIP Patron Party Passes and Artists Sponsorships are available via WWOZ. More info here below.
