Peter Karp Band

From the venue:

Peter Karp Band live at Eddie's Attic!

“Peter Karp is a star. From his muscular slide guitar soloing to his observational and oh-so-true songwriting, and, most of all, that soulful expressive voice of his, dripping with innuendo. Dude’s entertaining as hell.” Goldmine Magazine

Songwriter Peter Karp operates within the fiery brand of roots/blues music that Karp calls "Soul-stirring Americana-Blues rock." The music is crackling with smart and witty lyrics. His ability to give the audience such a great time while performing is refreshing. Having spent years playing venues and festivals to fans in Europe and the US, Peter Karp continues to carve out his own unique niche, with a sound born in the swamps of New Jersey and the trailer parks of southern Alabama. This show features Atlantan Mark Johnson (Delta Moon) on slide guitar!

“Guys like Peter Karp, James Taylor and Bob Dylan embody Americana Blues, and us English guys are inspired by it.” - Mick Taylor, The Rolling Stones

Karp first saw national attention when guitarist Mick Taylor of the Rolling Stones recorded and toured with Karp on his third indie release. Signed to Blind Pig Records, he released several other albums, including two with Sue Foley, that worked their way to the top of the Blues and Billboard Charts. A common theme his various bands possess is Karp’s heartfelt, critically acclaimed songwriting amidst a group of masterful musicians.

“Karp is his own man, an artist who blends roots music styles into something that transcends blues, country, R&B and swamp, John Prine’s wordplay, Joe Ely’s rocking instincts, Billy Joe Shaver’s fatalistic outlook.” - J. Poet – Allmusic.com
