Yamaha, the world-leading manufacturer of musical instruments, has announced Grammy and Oscar-winning musician Jon Batiste is set to headline NAMM Show's Friday night on the Yamaha Grand Plaza Stage.

A former house band leader for CBS' "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," the Louisiana native recently released eighth studio album, Beethoven Blues. It was his first to reach No. 1 on Billboard's Classical Albums Chart. Batiste is best known for the AAA radio hits "I Need You," "Freedom" and "Calling Your Name."

Also, the company will showcase the custom Yamaha pianos created for Alicia Keys' 2023 "Keys to the Summer Tour." Designed and rendered by Justin Elliott, the instruments once played by Keys include a plexiglass grand with silver sparkle and a plexiglass upright.

Attendees can also visit the Yamaha booth to experience additional live performances at #300DE in the Anaheim Convention Center from January 23 - 25, 2025. For more information, visit https://usa.yamaha.com/namm/
