Recently Jon Batiste and Stay Human played Bonnaroo, Bottlerock and the New Orleans Jazzfest andjust wrapped up their international tour. Jon and the band continue their festival calendar with a series of performances at the Newport Jazz Festival, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits and Monterey Jazz Festival (tour dates below).

Their critically acclaimed debut album Social Music (Washington Square/Razor & Tie) was released last Fall and still continues to receive rave reviews and accolades. The band has been featured in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Esquire, Interview Magazine, GQ, Blackbook to name a few.

Considered by many to be the most innovative and uplifting band on the scene today, Jon and his band are revered for their unique approach blending many genres to create a musical mashup that they call "social music," having one of the most musical and entertaining live shows today.

With his soulful voice, virtuosic piano chops and dapper sense of style, Jon Batiste has ignited the music scene. Although he comes from a renowned lineage of New Orleans musicians in his family, over the last decade he has forged his own artistic path by indelibly fusing himself within the fabric of New York City culture. At 26, Jon is the Artistic Director At Large of the National Jazz Museum in Harlem and has also received a Masters Degree from the Juilliard School for piano. Batiste brings to mind a young Ray Charles on Social Music as he reinterprets America's richest musical traditions through a contemporary lens.
