Acoustic set: Elmer's Tunes

New Orleans native Dennis Gros blends the city’s rich musical roots with decades of experience in both performance and broadcasting. Influenced by legends like Fats Domino and Louis Armstrong, Dennis began playing piano and singing around NOLA in his teens. After a career in radio and executive recruiting, he stayed close to his musical roots, performing in Nashville swing bands and developing his solo act. Now known as Elmer’s Tunes—a nod to his middle name and the Glenn Miller classic—Dennis delivers a smooth mix of piano bar charm and rock 'n' roll rhythm.
