“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. Poet – ALLMUSIC.COM

Singer-songwriter, guitarist and pianist Peter Karp has carved out his own niche in the contemporary Americana and Blues world. Raised both in the swamps of New Jersey and trailer parks in southern Alabama, Karp masterfully crafts music fueled with a Yankee-Rebel juxtaposition adding plenty of humor and candor.

As a songwriter Karp first saw national attention through his collaboration with guitarist Mick Taylor of the Rolling Stones who recorded and toured with Karp on his first release, The Turning Point. He signed with Blind Pig Records who then released Shadows and Cracks. In 2008 Karp formed The Karp Foley Band with Canadian blues guitarist Sue Foley. With Karp as the principle songwriter, they released two CDs on Blind Pig that went to #1 on the Blues Chart. His lyrical style, handling of the slide guitar infused by his love of Freddie King and Elmore James, and his dynamic shows with a high sense of entertainment have made him a popular addition to US, Canadian and European festivals.

“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 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

“Karp's a great writer and performer whose songs are driven by verbal word play and insights into the human experience. Like James Taylor and Bob Dylan, Karp embodies Americana music.” USA TODAY
