JP McDermott John McDermott Orange, CA J.P. McDermott has been singing most of his life; you could hear him in everything from choirs to musicals to skinny-tie New Wave bands. But he’s most passionate when he takes the mic for some rockabilly, a good shuffle, or a big Roy Orbison ballad. Born in Washington DC, J.P. was named the Country Vocalist of the Year several times by the Washington Area Music Association before moving out to California about 10 years back. With countless nights playing barrooms, beer joints, and concerts all over the U.S. and Europe, J.P. knows when to rock, and he knows when to roll. “I have a deep and abiding love for Buddy Holly’s music; it’s at the heart of everything I do”, says J.P. He established a popular annual celebration of Buddy's life and music that’s been running for 20 years now; has lectured on the topic at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC, and performed at the Buddy Holly Center in Lubbock TX on what would have been Buddy's 75th birthday.
