Guitarist. Singer. Pianist. The music is crackling with smart and witty lyrics. Peter Karp’s ability to give the audience such a great time while performing is refreshing.“Karp’s one cool cookie, all right — 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.”  Mike Greenblatt, Goldmine Magazine“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“Karp's a great writer and performer whose songs are driven by verbal word play and insights into the human experience.” USA TODAY“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…So why isn’t this guy a star?”  J.
