Tipitina - Deacon John

Alternately known as Deacon John Moore, this longtime new orleans R&B performer and session musician (also known early on as Johnny Moore ) earned his nickname 'Deacon' from an old bandmate for his well groomed, clean-cut, church ready look. Over the years he's remained a regional obscurity, but one who always had work recording and entertaining live around his home town. He's made a few solo records with regional popularity, and played guitar on many other hits including Aaron Neville's "Tell It Like It Is" on Parlo, Ernie K.
