John Nemeth
Shank Hall 1434 N. Farwell Ave., Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202
Following his critically acclaimed most recent album, Feelin’ Freaky, John Nemeth has hit the road hard, bringing his blend of blues, soul and R&B to audiences around the country. He draws particular inspiration from the sounds of Memphis, drawing from Hi Records singers like O.V. Wright, Al Green and Ann Peebles, but on Feelin’ Freaky, he modernized his sound—incorporating a mix of hip-hop and rock influences into his arrangements. His willingness to test genre boundaries has only helped cement his stature in blues circles; last year, he was nominated for yet another Blues Music Award in the category of B.B. King: Entertainer of the Year.
