Sonny Moorman
Edit ProfileCareer
His style is sometimes compared to that of the Duane Allman, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Lonnie Mack, Government"t Mule, and occasionally Warren Haynes. Moorman"s parents owned a nightclub called the "Half-Way Inn" located half way between Hamilton, Ohio and Middletown, Ohio on Ohio State Route 4 where he was able to watch musicians who played there, such as Lonnie Mack, from an early age. He also owns a music lesson studio in Fairfield, Ohio called Rock School.
One of his signature tunes is his cover of Lonnie Mack"s Cincinnati Jail.
Moorman sometimes plays a Jamon Zeiler crafted Acoustic guitar and a 2004 model Gibson Flying V Reissue. On some tunes Sonny plays Slide guitar either upright or laptop.
