Adrian Duke at Bond Brothers Eastside

Adrian Duke is a piano player, singer and songwriter in the New Orleans musical tradition of Professor Longhair, James Booker and Dr. John. Add to that a voice that is infused with a startling imprint of the early Atlantic sides of Ray Charles, and what you get just begins to describe what’s in Duke’s bag as a performer and composer.

Where New Orleans blues, classic soul, and Americana collide is where he lives.
