If you are wanting blues and nothing but the blues - this is certainly the CD for you. Sonny Moorman is blues through and through. His musicianship on the lead guitar is totally HOT and BAD TO THE BONE. At the beginning of his 'Sonny's Blues' CD, I thought the first track of 'Drowning on Dry Land' was going to be the beginning of some old blues. But as the tracks played on, it got HOTTER & HOTTER. Moorman totally tore the heck out of 'Crossroads', and 'Rock Me Baby' well all I can say is that the fingers flew all over that guitar neck. Sonny Moorman is one outstanding musician-in a class of his own and would cause any heart and soul to have an serious meltdown. ~Mary Rudy

"I came to play" says Sonny Moorman. "I was raised in the bars my folks owned in and around Hamilton, OH and got to hear world class artists Lonnie Mack, Cal Collins, Dumpy Rice, Troy Seals, Wayne Perry, and a score of others up close and personal and learned one thing - all the hype in the world doesn't mean a thing unless you can back it up!" Those are words Sonny has lived by through the decades of roadhouses, bars, and juke joints from coast to coast. He backed it up gig after gig, night after night, and year after year until his own "hype" got too big to go unnoticed any longer. After a decade of playing rock bars in Michigan with a variety of bands and a five year "visit" to LA during which he graduated from Musician's Institute and played with "Z Deluxe" (Warren Zevon's 1982 tour band), Moorman returned to Ohio - and to the Blues.

When Cincinnati Blues icon Big Ed Thompson suffered his debilitating stroke, Sonny was brought in to handle the guitar and vocal chores in Big Ed's band - the Cincinnati Blues All-Stars. The CBA's ETH Records release - Live at Burbank's chronicled the band during this period, and Living Blues Magazine was effusive in it's praise for Moorman's playing and singing. Not satisfied with the stylistic limitations of the All-Stars, Sonny moved on - to the Blues/Rock power trio format that is his vehicle to date.In 1994, Moorman and his band played the Memphis Cross-Cultural Music Exposition and got a recording deal with Sun Studio's 706 Records imprint. "Gary Hardy (then Sun Studio manager) came up to me before I walked off of the stage at Blues City and offered us a deal", says Sonny. Two 706 Records releases followed - L*I*V*E and Telegraph Road. At that point Moorman started what became a four-year tour with Easyriders Magazine playing their events and became a client of manager William Perkins (Allman Bros., SRV, Tinsley Ellis) . Sonny recorded his next releases on Perkins' Atlas Records label, including the 2009 Just Plain Folks Best Blues Album / Best Blues Song nominee - Crossroads Motel and Sonny's current release Live as Hell.

In addition to the critical acclaim from these releases, Sonny is the 2007 International Blues Challenge Solo/Duo 2nd place, 2008 Solo/Duo "Blues Artist on the Rise" - Blues Festival Guide Magazine, and he and his band were finalists in the 2010 International Blues Challenge. Noted music Journalist Randy McNutt may have said it best, " He can flat-out play--and sing... Sounds have been passed from blues giant Freddy King to Lonnie Mack to Sonny Moorman".

More than just a Blues-Rock artist, award-winning guitar player Sonny Moorman balances his signature smoking-hot riffs with a hard-rocking precision and feel born deep in the Blues ethos. Seeming to channel inspiration from elsewhere, his world-class playing is at once both transcendental and firmly grounded in reality, captivating audiences nationwide. The music is original, complex and never stale, with relatable lyrics and a sound that conjures up masters like Duane Allman, Lonnie Mack, and Freddy King. Still, Moorman has forged his own intoxicating style throughout his decades-long career, which firmly establishes him as one of the last great authentic roadhouse players.

Now, after being a Power Trio for two decades, the Sonny Moorman Group is proud to announce the addition of Mike Sonderman on Hammond B-3 organ. Along with the rhythm section that has powered the SMG for many years – Dave Fair on Drums and Chris Perreault on Bass, the band is back on Atlas Records and has a new release, "Lucky 13".
