Benny Amón & The New Orleans Pearls at The Sound Room – Oakland, CA
Originally from Davis, California, Benny Amón came to New Orleans to work with young people in schools, but instead found himself in recording sessions, on tour, and playing festivals and other projects with some of New Orleans’ greatest traditional jazz musicians. His band Benny Amón’s New Orleans Pearls breathes new life into those classic, swingin’ jazz sounds of the Crescent City.
He’s traveled the world, performing in Japan as a cultural ambassador, at the International I Love Jazz Festival in Brazil, as well as across Europe and the States. Benny’s a regular at Preservation Hall, Jazz Fest, French Quarter Fest, Satchmo Summer Fest, and the Danny Barker Banjo & Guitar Festival.
Now back in the Bay Area, he leads a swingin’ band bringing you New Orleans sounds.
