Albert's new album, out now on Blues Leaf Records, is called 'Living The Dream' and it stands up to both Albert's and Blues Leaf's high standard of quality blues. A wizard on guitar and equally magical on vocals, Albert doesn't hold back on this rockin' blues album. He can really rock it out when he wants and yet bring it all down and beautiful too. A brilliant album! Enjoy.

The Blues Room #204 JP Blues Band and some Christmas Cheer

The Blues Room #204 JP Blues Band and some Christmas Cheer - 9 Dec 09

JPBlues started playing guitar at the age of 8 and was quickly taken under the wing of legendary bluesman Sam "Bluzman" Taylor. At age 11 he was playing large festivals throughout the country, opening for such artists as Derek Trucks, Johnny Winter, Robin Trower, Joe Bonamassa among others. The list of artists that JP Blues have performed with is just as impressive, Michael Falzarano(Hot Tuna), Chris Beard, Debbie Davies, Pete Sears(Jefferson Starship), Buddy Cage(New Riders) and so many more. With all this experience under his belt JP Blues has put together a powerful blues trio consisting of industry veteran Drummer Pat Adkins (Gary U.S. Bonds, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, BB King) and bassist John Young. With JPBlues searing, soulful blues guitar backed by the solid rhythm section of Bassist John Young and Veteran touring/session drummer Pat Adkins the JPBlues Band combines a unique mixture of youth and experience that results in music that breaks new ground but is firmly rooted in the blues.
