John Németh plays the Iridium in Manhattan on November 14. The listing bills the evening simply as John Németh, with no supporting performers, guests, tribute, release event, or set format announced. Expect a show built around a singer, songwriter and harmonica player whose work moves through blues, soul and R&B. The supplied information does not confirm whether his usual road band, the Blue Dreamers, will join him for this date.
Boise-raised and Memphis-based, Németh has been hailed in his official bio as “the new voice of the blues.” He has worked with guitarists Anson Funderburgh and Junior Watson, as well as Elvin Bishop, and collaborated with producer Scott Bomar and the Bo-Keys on Memphis Grease. Blues Blast Magazine hears “modern R&B, soul and blues” in his music. Rock & Blues Muse calls him “a modern master of American music,” praising the “ecstatic sound of a small combo making a big noise.”
The Iridium offers a nightly showcase of jazz, rock, and blues in a space designed for serious music lovers. The venue features a full dining experience alongside its live performances, allowing you to enjoy a meal while soaking in the sounds. The room is arranged to focus attention on the stage, with seating that invites you to settle in and listen closely to the musicians. Shows are ticketed, and the audience is there to engage deeply with the music rather than just socialize. The venue’s connection to legendary guitarist Les Paul adds a layer of history that enriches the experience. Expect an evening where the music takes center, supported by attentive service and a well-curated atmosphere that respects the art on display.
