Johnny Azari was born in Shiraz, a city known for wine, poetry, opium, and revolution. At only a year old, he was relocated to a city known as New York; noted for grit, madness, money, and proliferation. He is current living in New Orleans attempting to abort his liver like a stillborn when he isn’t on tour.
Johnny plays his own strain of foot stomping, slide guitar, finger picking, vocal howling, delta-blues. His live shows blend a traditional style of music with storytelling and comedy. Azari has been on national tour since 2013, play- ing over 300 shows. He has released three DIY LP’s., and is currently recording his fourth, “Songs From A Motel Room'” in motels during his 2015 national 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.
