Bio
Pianist, vocalist, producer, songwriter John Autin is one of New Orleans' musical treasures. For years, John Autin has been one of New Orleans finest pianists playing or recording with Luther Kent, Marva Wright, Snooks Eaglin, Ernie K. Doe, Tommy Ridgley, Oliver Morgan, Irma Thomas, Eddie Bo, George Porter, Jr., Anders Osborne, Nora Wixted, Timothea, Grace Darling, Brian Lee, Wanda Rouzan, Al Miller, Jeff Chaz, Theresa Andersson, Irene Sage, Big Daddy O. John has also produced CDs for many of these artists and others on the Rabadash Records label.
In 1999, John decided to focus on himself as an artist, starting with solo piano gigs, and forming the trio The Autin Packing Co.. Lately, John has been working the finest piano rooms in New Orleans. In April 2003, the Hotel Monteleone contracted John to play the Carousel Lounge, New Orleans oldest and most prestigious solo piano room. Playing Jazz standards, New Orleans Piano, Blues and requests, John plays the Steinway concert grand that Liberace got his start on over 70 years ago.
During Hurricane Katrina, never one to sit still, while evacuated to Dallas John got musicians together and thought of a way to give back. Half artists from Texas and half evacuated musicians from New Orleans created a complilation CD entitled, From the Lone Star to the Gulf Coast. All money made off of this great CD went straight to the Tipitinas Foundation.
Upon his return to New Orleans post Katrina, John has focused on building the Rabadash Records label to national status. Other than the ton of work involved in Rabadash John continues to be the house pianoman for the world famous Carousel Lounge. John also was contracted to create music for the feature animated film, The Majestical, set to be released in late 2007.
Johns studio CD Piano Face features his keyboard playing and singing with drums, bass and tuba. Tracks were cut with New Orleans musical luminaries Johnny Vidacovitch and Matt Perrine. Other tracks are complete with the members of the Autin Packing Co. Greg Finsley and Jay Drongé. John has written several songs for the CD along with songs by Anders Osborne, Jay Griggs, Nora Wixted, Doug Duffey, and James Autin. The CD covers several of the styles John plays, including Rock, Funk, Blues, Jazz and Pop.
