JP Blues Band
John Pagano started playing guitar at the age of 10 and it was clear that something special was happening here. This “Something Special” was recognized by legendary bluesman Sam “Bluzman” Taylor. Sam took JP under his wing and began to school him on the blues, or what Sam use to call “SAMerizing”. It was under Sam’s watchful eye that JP began to flourish as a musician and a bluesman!
John Pagano and his cohorts do just that. formed in 2008 with band members Pat Adkins (Chuck Berry, Gary US Bonds) on Drums and John Young (Ryan Leslie) on Bass. While playing the festival circuit, they also recorded the band's first two CD's, “Die Happy” and “I Will Not Go Quietly.” In 2011, JP left the New York blues scene and moved to Georgia.
