About Jersey Town:

In the 1960s, the rhythms of northern New Jersey pulsed hard with urgency. Perhaps it was because of its dense population of first generation European immigrants getting thrown together with the mass migration of Latinos from South America, Mexico, and Cuba, combined with the surge of African Americans who sojourned their way north from the southern states in the nation’s post–WWII second Great Migration. It was here, in North Jersey, in the grayness, grit, din, and relentless rush-hour traffic, amidst cold and crumbling rusted steel bridges and dark overpasses, beneath looming loading cranes that towered like prehistoric skeletons over billowing refineries and post-apocalyptic swamplands, at the last chance and final stop on the New Jersey Turnpike, that Peter Karp was born.

BLUES ROCK REVIEW PREMIERES VIDEO FOR SINGLE

On February 5 Blues Rock Review premiered a video from singer-songwriter Peter Karp, "House Full Of Love," from his upcoming album Jersey Town. The video was filmed at the legendary Stanhope House in New Jersey just before the venue closed. The Stanhope House was a historic music landmark that hosted musical legends like Muddy Waters and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Karp played there regularly when he was first starting out.

“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

Accolades aside, Karp is a storyteller who also is an assertive singer, an insightful songwriter, a spellbinding performer, and a searing slide guitarist with significant keyboard skills. Ever the multi-tasker, Karp bounces between several instruments, handling electric resonator slide guitar, acoustic guitar — as well as harmonica and piano. Each track driven home with his soulful voice and original songwriting style.  On this record, having spent the past year tirelessly playing ever-larger venues and festivals to a burgeoning fan base in Europe and the US The Peter Karp Band continues to carve out his own unique niche, with a sound born in the swamps of New Jersey and the trailer parks in southern Alabama.

“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 

As a songwriter Karp first saw national attention when guitarist Mick Taylor of the Rolling Stones recorded and toured with Karp on his third release. This led to being signed to Blind Pig Records where he released Shadows and Cracks, cracking the top 10 on the Billboard and Blues charts. He continued to collaborate with the best in the business, including a seven year partnership with Canadian blues guitarist Sue Foley as the Karp-Foley Band before attending to his own band again, putting out two more solo albums in 2016 and 2017. Karp has been the recipient of many distinguished accolades throughout his career including top placement on the Blues charts with every one of his recent albums. 

Karp is a singular musician whose ability to tap timeless emotions with such musical passion stands out. He emulates the power and soul of Springsteen, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Otis Redding, putting on one of the most entertaining show you’ve seen.
