Henry Butler, an eight-time W.C. Handy Award nominee, is a New Orleans piano legend. Classically trained in both piano and voice, his free-wheeling style combines the refinement of McCoy Tyner with barrelhouse blues and influences from such other eclectic New Orleans piano maestros as Professor Longhair and James Booker.
His performance in Washington on March 18 is in support of Fans of the Fest, the membership arm of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation.
