River Eckert is a 14-year-old-piano player born and raised in New Orleans. From a very young age, River has been surrounded by music. Immersed in the styles of Professor Longhair, James Booker, Dr. John, Allen Toussaint among others, River is passionate and dedicated to “carrying the torch” of the New Orleans Piano Tradition. Coming from a musical family, River started playing Piano at the age of 3. He began studying classical music and his teachers urged him to start playing blues and jazz based on his natural ability to quickly grasp those styles. Now at the young age of 14 he sings and plays both in a solo piano and full band setting. River has been fortunate enough to have performed with George Porter, Jr., Stanton Moore, Reggie Scanlan, Terence Higgins, Roger Lewis, Brad Walker, Toni Dagradi, Kirk Joseph, and many others. He has had the honor of performing at The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, Tipitina’s, Maple Leaf Bar, Chickie Wah Wah, French Quarter Festival, NOLA Funk Fest, Oak. St. PoBoy Festival, WWL Morning Show, and WWOZ Radio.
