Dom Pipkin has been described by Blues in Britain as “one of the world’s greatest exponents of New Orleans piano”. He first got hooked on the New Orleans style in the early 90s, and has now become a regular visitor and performer in that city, with appearances that include the highly acclaimed “Piano Night” and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage festival. Pipkin mixed his own style with the unique flavours of maverick New Orleans piano star James Booker (1939 - 1983) capturing the player’s trademark combination of driving blues married with rhapsodic classical influences. Pipkin & his band The Ikos, take these New Orleans influences and fleshes them out delivering the most authentic and compelling take on this highly infectious blend of blues, gospel and jazz that is uniquely New Orleans. Alongside his own career, Pipkin has travelled the world with the band Morcheeba, & performed with greats such as Dr.John, Allen Toussaint & Screamin' Jay Hawkins.
On screen, Pipkin stars in the Netflix thriller, Black Doves (5 Dec 2024), and A Thousand Blows by the creators of Peaky Blinders (released Feb 21 2025).
Pipkin is also an educator and runs the highly popular New Orleans jam session in London, and writes articles based around keyboards for 'Blues Matters' magazine.
In live shows Pipkin mixes his own compelling songwriting with blues and Big Easy classics and"..cooks up a steaming musical stew that has the crowd dancing and clapping for more"
