  • Bio

    John Carey Producer, Singer- Songwriter and Harmonica Wizard John Carey, is enjoying a musical path that has become a fulfilling cultural journey over three different Continents. In the New Orleans scene, the JOHN CAREY BLUES SUMMIT was weekly jam session at Vic's on Tuesdays. John then took the Summit to the Kentucky Theater of the Arts where He performed with Grammy winner Chris Thomas King and Henry Butler to a SOLD OUT audience. On Wednesday night, the JOHN CAREY BLUES PARTY took place at the HARD ROCK CAFÉ and featured some of the top names in Blues today. John also produced and performed in many Blues Revues at the HOUSE OF BLUES in the Crescent City. He was presented an award for all his contributions to the New Orleans Music Scene by Ellis Marsalis (Father of Winton) and the Louisiana Music Commission. Carey's first New Orleans release, HOT FOR LOUISIANA, featured his funky rhythmic harp playing with such notable backing musicians as George Porter Jr. (Meters), and the Memphis Horns. The tune 'People You Love', from HOT FOR LOUISIANA, is also included on the Louisiana Red Hot Records compilation, Blues ~ The Language Of New Orleans. BLUES REVUE MAGAZINE said, Like Dr. John, Carey splits his musical time between classic Crescent City boogie and contemporary funk-blues, often combining the two with good results " On his latest release, BACK IN NEW ORLEANS , John is joined by Piano Bob Wilder and a cast of New Orleans best Musicians that include his son Sean Carey, Johnny Sansone, John Foul ,Eric Lindell, Jimmy Carpenter, Marc Stone and Willie Panker. Although John's time spent in New Orleans has proven to be prosperous, Taos New Mexico was another place where his heart and soul resonated. His Taos projects have included the live recording on Big Headed Kid Records 'John Carey and the Bluebird Rodeo Live @ the OBL'. From that CD, the song Taos Moon , was featured on the Revolution Records compilation CD, Songs of New Mexico . That song included Mike Hearne, Don Richmond and other top musicians in the South West. John's song, Soul of the South West , that is a tribute to Taos, was featured on the national radio program 'America Tonight with Kate Delaney'. John's second NM CD release was a Blues Duo CD called ' Crossroads' with Taos Blues Guitar legend Cullen Winter. John's song , 'Corazon Roto'', was featured in the award winning film 'El Cochero'. He has also written and produced music for the lead dancer of the Martha Graham Dance Co, Carrie Ellmore .Her dance performance, 'Crossroads' took place at the 92y in New York City. In Taos, John has also played and recorded with Taos Pueblo Drummer Blue Spruce Standing Deer and Native American Grammy Award winners, David and Greta Carson. His harmonica wizardry has earn him an endorsement with Peavey Electronics and Lee Oskar Harmonicas. A recent achievement was First Prize winner of the 2012 SocorroFest harmonica contest.
