J.P. McDermott

We’re a band playing fun rockabilly and early rock & roll with some vintage country in the mix. Family friendly and very danceable. Can also provide solo performance (vocals and guitar) of the same type of music.

Specializing in Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley and the early Beatles and others from the Fifties and Sixties. We play a wide range of songs and styles – from ballads to rockers and everything in between.

J.P. is an award-winning singer and guitar player and has been performing for more than 25 years in venues large and small. He knows how to read a crowd and make sure the audience is having a good time. The sidemen are excellent musicians as well and have been working as a unit for several years, developing that tight band sound that is so good to dance to.
