When Johnny isn't on tour, he lives in New Orleans writing and recording. These things have no influence on him whatsoever.
Johnny Azari (New Orleans ) plays his own mutant form of the Mississippi Delta-Blues. His live shows blend music with storytelling and comedy.

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.
