Music From Treme

[kayakamina]

In the final episode of series 3, at the celebration party at a Bar Mitzvah, the
father of the celebrant asks if his son can play piano with the band.
Somewhat uncertainly the band agrees but the young man launches into an excellent version of Professor Longhair's Tipitina.
The credits didn't mention his name and I have googled for it without success.

As a long time fan of New Orleans piano I would love to know the name of the
young man.

Is this him K ?
His name is Eliot Guerin .
There are some comments underneath where they say he stole the show in Treme ,so I guess it could be him .

Davis gigs with Kermit Ruffins and his band (Kevin Morris on bass, Derrick Freeman on drums) at a bar mitzvah held at The Balcony reception hall in Metairie. The songs: “Holy Cow” and “Sick and Tired.” Eliot Guerin joins them for “Tipitina.”
