John Mooney

John Mooney is a respected American blues guitarist and singer known for his fiery slide guitar work and soulful vocals. Originally from New Jersey, Mooney found his musical identity after moving to New Orleans in the 1970s, where he absorbed the rhythms and grooves of the city's rich musical culture. He was mentored by the legendary Delta bluesman Son House, which deeply influenced his playing style—a powerful fusion of traditional Delta blues and funky New Orleans rhythms.

Over his career, Mooney has built a reputation for electrifying live performances and a discography that blends gutbucket blues with second-line funk. Albums like Big Ol' Fiya and Gone to Hell showcase his gritty voice and searing slide guitar, while his live shows—including his appearance at the 2023 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival—highlight his dynamic musicianship and deep roots in American blues traditions.
