John Mooney: Empire State Express

John Mooney performs "Empire Express" at the 2008 Hot Blues For The Homeless: A Tribute To Son House concert. The concert benefits the Catholic Family Center's Francis Center, a homeless shelter in Rochester NY. Hot Blues for the Homeless is a joint effort between Jazz 90.1's Big Road Blues program and the Catholic Family Center. Son House is an internationally known blues artist who spent a good part of his life in Rochester, NY yet the city has never recognized this legendary musician. This festival aims to celebrate the music of Son House and his deep connection to the city of Rochester.
