Moes Alley presents 2024 Blues Artist of The Year – John Nmeth! Sunday, March 9thDoors: 2pm / Show: 3pm$20 in advance / $25 at the door21+JOHN NMETHAs a teenager in the early 90s growing up in the muddy potato fields of Idaho, Nmeth was drawn to the hard-edged hip hop sounds and rock bands of the day, until a friend, Tom Moore, introduced him to the Junior Wells and Buddy Guy classic Hoodoo Man Blues. Together they formed Fat John t take long before he was releasing his own recordings, The Jack Of Harps (2002) and Come And Get It (2004), featuring Junior Watson, and performing in Junior Watsons band.In 2013 John relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, where he teamed up with producer Scott Bomar and his classic Memphis Soul band, the Bo-Keys, to create an album of revisited soul classics, Memphis Grease (2014 Blue Corn), which debuted at #4 on the Billboard Blues Chart. John won the 2104 BMA for Best Soul Blues Male Artist, followed by Memphis Grease winning Best Soul Blues Album in 2015. In 2017 Nmeth released Feelin Freaky (produced by Luther Dickinson) on his own Memphis Grease label, crushing all barriers of style and genre with an album of original songs that defied all the usual pigeonholes, drawing from his strong influences in blues and Rn roll. Later that same year, Nmeth was part of a side project The Love Light Orchestra Featuring John Nmeth recorded live at one of Memphis favorite watering holes, Bar DKDC. The 10-piece band was initially envisioned by guitarist Joe Restivo, vocalist John Nmeth and arranger/trumpeter Marc Franklin. Nmeth returned to Electraphonic in December of 2019 with his seasoned road band of young gun players, The Blue Dreamers, featuring 19 year-old guitar phenom from Philadelphia, Jon Hay, drummer Danny Banks and Matt Wilson on bass for a rowdy southern swamp roots session resulting in his 10th album, Stronger Than Strong demonstrating, yet again, his uncanny ability to skillfully blend retro and modern blues and soul into compelling music that is simultaneously old and new.
