Blind Pig Signs John Nemeth!
Blind Pig Records has announced the signing of vocalist and harmonica player John Nemeth to a multi-record recording agreement.
Nemeth, now living in San Francisco, has recently been touring with Anson Funderburgh and the Rockets, filling in for the legendary Sam Meyers.
After witnessing Nemeth give a stellar vocal and dynamic harp presentation at San Francisco's Biscuits and Blues club, 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. We believe John has the drive, intelligence, self discipline and talent to realize his career goals."
Nemeth, a 30 year old native of Boise, Idaho, started singing in church as a child and played in bands as a teenager. In 2002 he began touring with Junior Watson, playing Scandinavia, Canada, and the U.S. In 2005 he worked in Mexico and Thailand. Said Nemeth, "I feel very fortunate to be the newest member of the Blind Pig family. I am grateful for their support and belief in my abilities."

I moved from Oakland, CA, to Boise in 1998, and was blown away by the talent of one local youngster -- John Nemeth. He immediately reminded me of Doug Jay, and as I watched him learn and grow over the next four years that I lived in Boise, I was even more impressed. I have to agree with Bob Margolin's liner notes: Here's an "old soul" who came "out of the blue."
