John Nemeth: Award-Winning Blues Singer at George's Nightclub February 3, 2012

Idaho's John Nemeth won the 2010 Living Blues Award for Most Outstanding Blues Singer, and his latest album Name the Day was nominated for two Blues Music Awards. His rootsy sound has topped the Billboard charts, and he's a spellbinding live performer.

John Németh is a rising blues star; a singer steeped in the tradition and reminiscent of B.B. King, Ray Charles and Junior Parker, and a harmonica player of riveting intensity and virtuosity. His decade long career has found him opening for Robert Cray, Keb Mo', and Earl Thomas. Performing major music festivals around the United States, Europe, Canada and Asia has brought him critical acclaim.

John recorded "Come And Get It" with the Junior Watson Band in 2004. The album received rave reviews and scored well on the independent blues radio charts. When John signed a multi-record recording agreement with Blind Pig Records in 2006, label head Jerry Del Giudice expressed "how impressed I was with John's performance the one time I got the chance to see him. In our nearly 30 years in the business we have never before offered a new artist a recording contract on the strength of one performance."
