WWOZ Piano Night is WWOZ 90.7 FM’s flagship fundraiser and a festival tradition amongst New Orleans music lovers! This year, nearly 30 piano players will perform at the House of Blues on Monday, April 27, 2026 in support of carrying the flame of the New Orleans piano tradition and WWOZ. Doors open at 5pm.

WWOZ Piano Night has two simple goals: (1) honor and celebrate New Orleans piano traditions and (2) raise funds to benefit WWOZ. Patrons are invited to join us for more than five hours of piano from more than two dozen pianists, playing in a range of styles from boogie-woogie to trad jazz, modern jazz to R&B, stride to gospel, and much more.

Historically, WWOZ Piano Night sells out and we expect to for this year, as well!
