John Nemeth “Love Me Tonight” – Salmon Arm’s Roots & Blues Festival
John Németh is a rising star – a singer steeped in the blues tradition reminiscent of B.B. King, Ray Charles and Junior Parker. With origins that are an unlikely breeding ground for such an impressive blues talent, this Boise, Idaho native grew up singing in the Catholic Church. “I’ve been singing all my life,” he says. From the day I was born, I’ve been screamin’, singin’, hollerin’, and cryin’. I guess it’s my only reason for existence.”
When he was fourteen, John discovered the blues. “Junior Wells was the artist that hooked me. He was funky like James Brown and lowdown like Muddy Waters.” A bright new talent on the blues scene, John began playing with the Junior Watson Band in 2002, as well as gigging with his own band, the Jacks. In 2004, he recorded “Come And Get It” with Junior’s band, an album that received rave reviews and scored well on independent blues radio charts.
A vocalist with great range, ability, and soulfulness, John also developed into a top-notch blues harmonica player. At a performance in 2006, label head Jerry Del Giudice was so impressed, he signed John to a multi-recording deal with Blind Pig Records. “In our nearly thirty years in the business,” Del Giudice said, “we have never before offered a new artist a recording contract on the strength of one performance.”
The buzz around John Németh is substantial. The Cascade Blues Association selected him as “crowd favorite” at the 2002 Portland Waterfront Blues Festival, and the Washington Blues Society named him the “show stealer” at the 2003 Winthrop Rhythm and Blues Festival. John’s decade long career has found him opening for Robert Cray, Keb Mo’, and Earl Thomas, and performing major festivals around the US, Europe, Canada and Asia.
His uncanny blend of retro-modern blues and soul prove John is a natural-born bluesman with every note he sings, shaping each one with emotion, taste and inspiration. With his pleasingly gruff soul vocals and searing harmonica, this supremely versatile performer has made true believers of some of the biggest names in the business. A 2010 Blues Music Award nomination for Contemporary Blues Male Artist of the Year is the latest nod to come his way, so be sure to catch John Németh now so you can say you saw him in the early years of his soon-to-be giant career!

My Personal History of the Blues: Part 2
Well, Leroy Pearson got my attention with Elmore James. I started to listen to his radio program every week. I made sure I was home and on time for the show. It was followed by a folk music show that played on Navy Pier in Chicago and I made sure I listened to both programs weekly but the blues show was what it was all about for me. I started to play blues on the guitar, buy blues records, and attend shows and festivals.
