Ohio Pen/10069367

LANCASTER, Pa. - OhioPen -- Nola Blue Records is pleased to announce the signing of eminent blues vocalist and harmonicist, John Németh. Stronger Than Strong, the forthcoming twelve track album produced by Németh and recorded at Electraphonic Recording in Memphis, features ten original compositions. According to Németh, "I am excited to be working with Nola Blue. The band and I had a ball cutting this record. I love the thrill of cutting live to a tape machine like all my favorite classic records. This young band is truly inspiring and have the experience to back me up. I felt the need to cut loose after rising from a crippling injury and struggling to stay positive through these trying times. My fans have been so good to me, it's really unbelievable. I'm so grateful to share this record with the world right now. Enjoy!"
