John Németh Brings The Blues To “George Bailey’s” Hometown May 25
|
(INDIANA, PA) - Five-time Blues Music Award winner, Memphis-based blues artist John Németh will perform May 25 during the 2024 Delaney Chevrolet Westsylvania Jazz and Blues Festival (DCWJBF) in Indiana, Pennsylvania.
Among recent accolades, Németh is a 2024 Blues Music Award (BMA) nominee for “Soul Male Artist” and “Vocalist of The Year.” He won the 2023 BMA for “Instrumentalist -Harmonica” and his retro and modern blues and soul album, May Be The Last Time, won “Traditional Blues Album of the Year”.
Németh will join jazz headliner Howie Alexander appearing on the lineup courtesy of the Pittsburgh International Jazz Festival (PIJF).
With a sprawling repertoire that ranges from jazz and gospel, to funk and blues, Alexander’s live performances, as both sideman and headliner, have taken him from Pittsburgh to Monaco. He is also the 2024 B.U.I.L.D. Artist-In-Residence at the August Wilson African American Cultural Center/Pittsburgh International Jazz Festival.
DCWJBF is entering its ninth year of bringing a full day of free, live performances to IRMC Park in the heart of downtown Indiana. A charming college town located 90 minutes east of Pittsburgh, Indiana is notably the birthplace of actor Jimmy Stewart, perhaps best known for his role as George Bailey in It’s A Wonderful Life. In addition to the Jimmy Stewart Museum, there’s unique shops and a variety of restaurants nearby and the Indiana University of Pennsylvania and its Allegheny Arboretum are also within walking distance.
The festival is bookended by live music events at area venues.
A ticketed, Friday night concert by jazz trumpeter and vocalist Benny Benack III will kick things off in a classic setting: the Indiana Theater, which first opened in 1924.
Following the festival, there’s after-hours shows at area venues.
For more information and upcoming lineup announcements, find the festival on Facebook or visit here. Festival admission is free.
