Big vocals, driving rhythm, great tunes -- that's Western Bop. This music was out there long before anyone thought to call it Rock and Roll. Western Bop is where Rockabilly, Classic Country, and Honky Tonk come together. It's a flattop acoustic beating time like a big eight-wheeler comin' down the track. It's a bass fiddle getting slapped like there's no tomorrow. Throw in a blazing telecaster on lead guitar, and you know you've found the right place. Forget the tribute bands, the oldies bands, the camp, and the kitsch. This is the real music, played the way it's supposed to be played -- straight ahead, a little bit blue, and a hell of a lot of fun. Western Bop is back and its here to stay. J.P. McDermott & Western Bop are based in Washington, D.C. and play songs by: Buddy Holly, Webb Pierce, Johnny Cash, Warren Smith, Mac Curtis, Elvis Presley, Ray Price, Stonewall Jackson, Johnny Bush, Mac Curtis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Hank Williams, Carl Smith, Billy Lee Riley, Lefty Frizzell, Bob Luman, Willie Nelson, Eddy Arnold, Marty Robbins, Wynn Stewart, George Jones, and more. ..
