Details:
Most blues guitarists havenât played in a handful of metal bands and aren't influenced by jazz icons like Django Reinhardt and Wes Montgomery. Which, as much as anything, explains why South Florida based JP Soars doesnât sound like any other area guitar slinger. The guitarist and vocalist fronts a self titled blues band and has side projects with both former Elvin Bishop saxophonist/vocalist Terry Hanck as well as âthe Gypsy Blue Acoustic Revueâ, which updates the classic 1930s and 1940s material of Django Reinhardt and violinist Stephane Grappelli.

JP was born in California and raised in Arkansas. He moved to South Florida in 1985. "I love Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan⦠but I don't try to play like them. I listen to the guys they listened to, like Albert King, Johnny Guitar Watson, T-bone Walker, Muddy Waters and Guitar Slim. I'm also very into Django Reinhardt and Wes Montgomery as well as horn players like Louie Jordan".

In Feb 2007 Soars traveled to Memphis TN to compete in the IBC after winning the South Florida International Blues Challenge 2 years in a row. Soars has just released his own cd entitled âBack Of My Mindâ. He is a versatile guitarist who is constantly evolving and reaching for new heights.
