Topic: JP Blues - Write The Name Down - New CD Coming Soon
http://www.reverbnation.com/jpblues
A few years ago, friends of mine Suzanne Foschino and Sweet Suzi
kept telling me I had to hear this young guitarist JP Blues
"John Pagano". I kept saying to myself just what I need, some kid
who can't play or sing. "Then" I got to hear JP play, and became a believer. JP doesn't turn 21 until April, and he has already
competed at the IBC's. In 2008 JP competed with his own band,
and in Jan 2010 was the guitarist with Frank Latorre.and the King Bee's (the four highest score at this years IBC).
There`s always talk about the next great Blues guitarist. No-one
should be burdened with that title. What I can say is that JP plays
great tasty Blues/rock guitar, has strong vocals, writes, and knows
how to work the stage. In a few months, JP will release his second
CD, and I am predicting that it will do very well on a national level.
JP started playing guitar at age 8 by age 10 it was clear that
playing was his calling. This "Something Special" was recognized
by legendary bluesman Sam "Bluzman" Taylor.Sam took JP under
his wing and began to school him on the blues. At 11 JP progressed
to the point where he was ready to play festivals,and play he did! JP began playing throughout the country with Sam Bluzman Taylor, Phil Grande and MNB3 opening for artists as Derek Trucks,
Johnny Winter,Robin Trower, Joe Bonamassa,Cactus and Caroline Aiken.
JP's first CD "Die Happy" did not have a national release, but a few
DJ's in the US, Germany, France, Croatia, Australia, New Zealand
have picked up and featured the CD.
Community Radio Hamilton 106.7FM In New Zealand has a podcast available of the show they did that featured JP
