This live broadcast is the first in a series of non-smoking shows presented by WWOZ and The Louisiana Campaign for Tobacco-Free Living. 

Papa Grows Funk's all-star lineup features New Orleans' finest musicians and funkiest characters, all of whom have deep roots in New Orleans music. Accompanying the slinky Hammond B3 grooves of band leader John Gros (George Porter, Jr. & Runnin' Pardners) is internationally renowned June Yamagishi (Wild Magnolias) on guitar, Marc Pero (Smilin’ Myron) on bass, Jason Mingledorff (Galactic) on saxophone and Jeffery “Jellybean” Alexander (Jon Cleary) on drums.  Influenced by Dr. John, the Meters and the Neville Brothers, Papa Grows Funk are the guardians of New Orleans funk.

The Louisiana Campaign for Tobacco-Free Living supports creating healthier environments for you and some of your favorite people: the ones who make the music and the drinks.
