Jon Cleary & The Absolute Monster Gentlemen are considered an absolute monster delight! But don’t just take our word for it..
‘Listen, we got a guy by the name of Johnny Cleary who’s been livin’ in N’awlins for a long time. He’s got the spirit. You can’t beat that’. -Dr. John
‘I love playing with Jon Cleary, he’s the real deal’ -Taj Mahal
‘Cleary is the 8th wonder of the world’ – Bonnie Raitt
“Cleary can be an absolute monster on his own, but Cleary’s full combo R&B is as broad, deep and roiling as the Mississippi river, the combined swinging product of local keyboard tradition, Cleary’s vocal-songwriting flair for moody Seventies soul and the spunky-meters roll of his Gentlemen” -David Fricke, Rolling Stone
‘He is a real fountain of knowledge and one of the great R&B singers of our time’ – John Scofield
