and Western Bop
Red-Hot Rockabilly & Rock and Roll!
The New Record is Here!
Parking Lot Rock & Roll is 14 new tracks of real live rockabilly and rock & roll. There are plenty of hard-driving rockers, but as always we threw in some heartbreak and teen tragedy. It covers a pretty wide range of moods and styles, but it all comes together with that Western Bop sound. It’s not a nostalgia trip; it’s just real live rock & roll.”
J.P. McDermott is a dynamic performer known for his authentic blend of rockabilly, honky-tonk, and roots rock & roll , capturing the spirit of 1950s American music. With a voice that echoes the greats like Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison, J.P. brings a modern flair to classic rock ‘n’ roll. His band, J.P. McDermott and Western Bop, has gained a dedicated following for their fresh take on vintage sounds, delivering foot-stomping, dance-worthy tunes that transport listeners to the golden era of rockabilly and rock & roll.
ABOUT THE BAND
J.P. McDermott and Western Bop play red hot rockabilly and rock and roll (and some classic Orbison-style ballads). With a fun, fresh mix of great songs by the likes of Buddy Holly, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, and the very early Beatles, plus a bunch of fine original tunes in the same vein, a good time is guaranteed. But you never know what you’ll hear -- rockabilly influenced everybody from The Beatles to T-Rex to Led Zepellin to Elvis Costello and beyond. This is no oldies act -- it’s live and vital and rockin’ and real. Back before folks knew it was Rock and Roll they called it Western Bop.
