Dale Storr is recognised as one of the U.K’s leading exponents of New Orleans piano, regularly touring in this country and in Europe, Dale showcases the legendary piano players of New Orleans. ‘A very, very fine piano player indeed’ Paul Jones BBC Radio2 amongst the best in the U.K’ Paul Bream, Jazz Alert.

Dale’s inspiration comes from the evocative rhythms of New Orleans, bringing sharp twists to everything from a classically influenced minuet, a Latin rhumba and some junker-blues piano, to a red hot stomping boogie-woogie. His influences range from Fats Domino and Floyd Cramer to Dr John and James Carroll Booker.

Dale has played with many acclaimed bands, embarking on his solo career in 2006 since when he has toured throughout the UK and in Europe with huge success.
