DESCRIPTION:
http://www.michaeljuannunez.com/ Michael Juan Nunez is a singer, guitarist, songwriter, from South Louisiana whose music taps into the heart of American southern culture. It's fresh, and urgent, yet unmistakably sprouting from very deep roots. His music paints pictures of life, as seen through the eyes of southern Louisiana. His guitar playing is raw and passionate...moaning, screaming, singing, and driving modern day melodies, with echoes of long lost dancehalls.

Michael has played with many groups, most notably Zachary Richard (with whom he toured the US, Canada, and France), Roddie Romero and the HubCity AllStars (with whom he was part of the Grammy Nominated CD "The La Louisianne Sessions"), Mr. Harry Hippolyte (Guitarist for the late Zydeco legend Clifton Chenier), as well as his own group, 'The RiverBabys'. Along the way, he has worked on stage, and in the studio with many other artists from time to time, including the great Chess Records pianist Mr. Henry Gray, and legendary NOLA musician 'The Night Tripper' Dr. John.

The RiverBabys, (Nunez, along with long time Drummer, Jeff Lewis, and Chad Willis) have toured the Gulf South making a name for themselves on the blues circuit. They competed in the IBC in Memphis, TN in 2001 and made it to the finals, where they were disqualified for playing over their time limit...the band was rockin', the crowd was rockin', there seemed to be no reason to stop!!! It was the opinion of many attendees, as well as some judges (which included Alligator records founder Bruce Iglauer) , as well as Memphis news papers, that had it not been for the 'error in judgment, of playing to long' they would have won the competition. Never the less, the band made new friends, and fans.



Michael Juan Nunez has played numerous festivals, to excited crowds, including, The King Biscuit Blues Festival, in Helena, Arkansas, The Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Festival International in Lafayette, Louisiana, The Harvest Moon Blues Festival in Atlanta, Georgia, The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, Festivals Acadian, as a performer, and at times giving clinics as well. In 2010 he also was part of a documentary called "Songs Of The Soul" shot live at Angola, Louisiana State Penitentiary.
