SUMMARY:Jon Cleary and the Absolute Monster Gentlemen
DESCRIPTION:Jon Cleary & The Absolute Monster Gentlemen roll into Holyoke fresh off their latest release\, The Bywater Sessions(April 25\, 2025)\, an album that captures the raw\, live-together energy of New Orleans funk and R&B. In it\, Cleary expands his sonic palette—horns\, extra keyboards\, guitar\, vibrant percussion—while grounding the sound in deep tradition. As Cleary puts it\, “We set out to capture that sound in the old-fashioned way: everybody in the room\, playing together.” Songs like “So Damn Good” and “Uptown Downtown” show both reverence for the Crescent City’s roots and a willingness to push the grooves into fresher territory. \nAt De La Luz Soundstage\, the show promises more than just incredible music—it’ll be a full sensory experience. Your ears will get the pungent bite of bluesy piano solos\, the warm blow of horns\, and drums that pulse like a second-line parade. The Absolute Monster Gentlemen are more than a backing band—they’re a congregation of New Orleans’ finest players who’ve learned the craft “at the feet of the masters.” Expect old favorites alongside surprises: they’ve been known to dip into classic tunes from Lee Dorsey and Professor Longhair woven in with their own funk-drenched originals. \nAnd because music this soulful deserves food to match\, Chef Sara Barnes is preparing a special New Orleans–inspired menu for the night. Having lived and cooked in the Crescent City for over a decade\, Sara brings the flavors of her adopted hometown straight to the plate. Think shrimp Creole and red beans with andouille\, crisp okra fritters\, and a sweet finish like Bananas Foster or pecan praline beignets. Just like Cleary’s music\, it’s a celebration of heritage and innovation—a night of groove\, flavor\, and community. \nDoors and cafe open at 6:00\, show at 7:00.
