Jp Soars

With his new album, Brick By Brick, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist JP Soars makes it clear yet again that he’s absolutely determined to advance his career one step at a time, whether it’s through his interaction with fans or via his ongoing album trajectory. He’s made that consistently clear in the past and his work has been rewarded — not only in terms of his accolades and chart accomplishments — but also through the appreciation he’s received from the audiences and admirers he’s managed to attract every step of the way. It’s that drive and determination that’s at the very heart of Brick By Brick. “It all seemed very natural,” he says. “The album is very reflective of how I have built my music career, one brick at a time.” Indeed, the album is a testament not only to his expansive musical palette but also to his ability to make music that brought him praise from his fans and followers every step of the way. In fact, the kudos have continued throughout JP’s career. In 2009, JP won the Blues Foundation’s International Blues Challenge, as well as the prestigious Albert King guitar award. Since then, he’s been nominated for six Blues Music Awards, including those for Best Guitarist, Best Blues-Rock, Best Contemporary Blues Artist, Best Band and the B.B. King Entertainer of the Year award. Little Steven's Underground Garage placed him among the “Top Five Coolest CD” for his album More Bees with Honey.”
