"Sonny Moorman's award-winning blues is something you need to hear."
- Bill Ector, Hittin The Note Magazine.
"[Moorman] can flat-out play and sing...Sounds have been passed from blues giant Freddy King to Lonnie Mack to Sonny Moorman."
- Randy McNutt, Noted Music Journalist.
Whether blues guitarist Sonny Moorman is deftly fingerpicking his Zeiler acoustic guitar, or playing sinewy slide on his Oahu lap guitar and Dobro resophonic guitar, he presents classic blues, played and sung the way it was supposed to be, the real deal!
In 1982, Sonny Moorman played with Warren Zevon's touring band, "Z Deluxe." 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. 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. Sonny recorded his next releases on the 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 placed 2nd in the 2007 International Blues Challenge, he was named 2008 Solo/Duo "Blues Artist on the Rise" by Blues Festival Guide Magazine, and he and his band were finalists in the 2010 International Blues Challenge.
