Peter Karp is the real deal–a creative and talented songwriter/storyteller and multi-instrumentalist who alternates between resonator slide guitar, acoustic and electric guitar, blues harp and barrel house piano deftly mixing blues, roots, Americana and alt-country.  Based out of Nashville and a regular at the Annual 30A Singer, Songwriter Festival, Peter has the chops, charisma and stage presence to complement his musicianship.  It all spells entertainer.

“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

“Karp is his own man, an artist who blends roots music styles into something that transcends blues, country, R&B and swamp. John Prine’s wordplay, Joe Ely’s rocking instincts, Billy Joe Shaver’s fatalistic outlook.” J. Poet [AllMusic.com]

“This is a sharp and colorful writer who works on several levels: He can drop literary references on you, but he makes sure to keep the songs grounded in real emotion. The same goes for the music, a roadhouse-worthy stew of blues, country, rock and soul.”  Philadelphia Inquirer

“Today Karp has emerged as one of the finest storytellers and entertainers as well as players in blues ranks, someone anxious to spotlight the music’s communicative abilities more than just blister through guitar solos or rework vintage Delta tunes.”  Nashville City Paper

He’s backed by his long-time rhythm section of Mike Catapano on drums and Niles Terrat on bass  providing rollicking, smokin’, fast-paced, hip-shakin', roots and blues that won’t let ya’ sit still.  Really good stuff.  Highly recommended.
