Dom Pipkin: Piano from London, Soul from New Orleans in Stage 2 at The Stables

Alongside a glittering session career (David Byrne, Ray Davies, Morcheeba), piano player and songwriter Dom Pipkin has been described by Blues in Britain as “one of the world’s greatest exponents of New Orleans piano”.
Dom first discovered the New Orleans style in the early 90s, and has gone on to 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. He is a regular fixture on the European blues and boogie-woogie festival circuit having played 1000’s of club and theatre, radio and TV dates in a career spanning nearly three decades. Jazz star Jamie Cullum says “I can’t hold a candle to this guy”.
Dom developed a particular specialisation for 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. He was invited to play at the world premiere of the documentary Bayou Maharajah at SXSW in 2014, and at multiple subsequent screenings of the film.
Dom regularly performs and records in New Orleans, and has shared stages with legends such as Allen Toussaint , Dr John and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. Grammy award winner Jon Cleary invites him to jam whenever he’s in town. In live shows Dom mixes his own compelling songwriting with blues and Big Easy classics that "..cooks up a steaming musical stew that has the crowd dancing and clapping for more" Classic Rock Blues Magazine.
During the Covid lockdown he performed more than 120 broadcast shows from his home and completed his solo album C’mon Sunshine - an all-original collection of songs on the subject of hope, jammed full of spicy New Orleans and blues piano styles. The album Live At The Temple followed in 2023 - a spontaneous mix of two live sets at London’s Temple Of Art And Music.
On screen, Dom stars in the new Netflix thriller, Black Doves (5 Dec 2024), and A Thousand Blows by the creators of Peaky Blinders (released Feb 21 2025), and can be seen jamming boogie-woogie with king of Kpop, Jay Chou, in the latest Rimowa commercial.
Alongside his own career, Dom has travelled the world with the band Morcheeba (with whom he has been associated since the bands inception in 1996). He is also active as an educator, running a highly popular New Orleans jam session in London, and writes articles based around keyboards for Blues Matters magazine.
“Dom’s solo shows are a treat – intimate, moving, funky and lively. A real romp through the heart and soul of New Orleans piano and beyond” - Kino-Teatr
