Johnny Azari with Matt Witte

Johnny Azari (New Orleans) plays his own mutant form of the Mississippi Delta-Blues. His live shows blend music with storytelling. Azari has been on national tour since 2013, performed on Fox, NPR, WWOZ, and recorded his fourth LP, "Songs From A Motel Room,"  exclusively in motels during his 2016 tour. Azari has scored film (“Illusions & Mirrors,” starring Natalie Portman), served as guest lecturer and performer at Brown University and seen two of his videos, “Occupation Blues” and “Freedom Glory Be Our Name” gain viral success.
