J.P. McDermott & Western Bop

J.P. McDermott & Western Bop return for one night of red-hot rockabilly and rock & roll! J.P. McDermott & Western Bop J.P. returns to his old stomping grounds for a night of red hot rockabilly & rock and roll -- one night only! .P. McDermott is a native of Washington DC, and has been singing most of his life -- everything from church choirs to musical comedy to skinny tie New Wave bands back in the day. But J.P. is most at home behind the microphone belting out some rockabilly or early rock and roll or crooning a Roy Orbison ballad. J.P. was named the Country Vocalist of the Year several times by the Washington Area Music Association, and has sung the National Anthem a capella at Camden Yards in front of 49,000 people. J.P. has a deep and abiding love for the music of Buddy Holly. In addition to establishing a popular annual celebration of Buddy's life and music, J.P. has delivered lectures about the topic at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC, and performed at the Buddy Holly Center in Lubbock TX on what would have been Buddy's 75th birthday. Currently working out of sunny Southern California, J.P. is having a blast playing music on the West Coast.
