Jon Roberts y Pan Blanco is driven by a life that stretches from a piano on a remote Montana ranch to the world’s biggest stages, blending Afro Latin soul with deep musical roots and global fire. Roberts is a classically trained performer, globe-trotting bandleader, and Montana professor whose resume spans Lincoln Center, the Apollo, Grammy and Emmy stages, and collaborations with legends across soul, jazz, pop, and orchestral worlds. Now channeling all of that into Pan Blanco, he delivers a rhythm rich, border crossing sound that feels timeless, joyful, and very alive, with new music forged between Cuba, Los Angeles, and Montana.
