Nigel Mooney Organ Trio

Limerick Jazz Fes val 2025
Press release: Deborah Swiney with The Nigel Mooney Trio

Making her first appearance at the Limerick Jazz Fes val, Memphis jazz singer Deborah Swiney is regarded as Tennessee’s finest, the “Sarah Vaughan of the South”. Deborah was raised in the south suburbs of Memphis where her mother was a blues pianist and the neighbourhood was steeped in jazz, blues and gospel and she naturally evolved into one of the south’s finest jazz singers, joining Al Green’s band on backing vocals and working regularly with the great Memphis musicians associated with the bands of Isaac Hayes, Ike Turner, Aretha Franklin and Buddy Guy. She has toured Ireland once before, with Ireland’s King of the Blues, Nigel Mooney, and we are thrilled to have her in Limerick this year with Nigel Mooney’s Organ
Works featuring Nigel Mooney on guitar Sco Flanigan on organ and Dominic Mullan on drums.
