Several years ago J.P. Soars became aware that he was building his audience one person at a time. He’d win a new fan, or several, every time he played and eventually he knew he could create a healthy career if he stuck with it.

“It all seemed very natural,” says Soars, who titled his new album ‘Brick By Brick’ as a testament to his approach. “The album is very reflective of how I have built my music career, one brick at a time.”

The new album by the Boca Raton, Fla. musician is his first for Little Village and shines a light on the multi-dimensional musical talents of Soars. In addition to his base of blues & roots music, Soars displays his affection for the influences of gypsy jazz, country, Latin, rock and heavy metal.

“I didn’t set out with any game plan for this album,” he says. “In fact, a lot of these songs came out of the pandemic when I was just fooling around with different songs and styles. It just grew around that.”

Standout tracks include “Things Ain’t Working Out,” a guitar-driven lament to a broken relationship while “Keep Good Company” features Soars on guitar and lyrics that reinforce the need to be watchful of your own conduct. Soars also does a masterful job on Little Milton’s “That’s What Love Will Make You Do.”

“Can’t Keep Her Off My Mind” is a supercharged, hillbilly-country rave up. Soars plays banjo on the song, with strong interplay with the rollicking fiddle of Anne Harris (known for her work with bluesman Otis Taylor), and backing vocals by Annika Chambers and Paul DesLauriers.
Soars borrows from his gypsy jazz vocabulary on “Jezebel,” a sinewy beat that underscores the force attraction to an overpowering charm of a woman he can’t resist.

To those who know Soars, his eclectic approach to music is no surprise. In fact, his ability to shift gears between musical styles has become a major thrust of his live shows.

In 2009, Soars won the Blues Foundation’s International Blues Challenge, including the prestigious Albert King guitar award. Since then, he’s nominated for six Blues Music Awards, including best guitarist, best blues-rock, best contemporary blues artist, best band and as B.B. King Entertainer of the Year.

JP Soars - Let Go Of The Reins

01. Been Down So Long (5:38)
02. If You Want To Get To Heaven (3:38)
03. Freddie King Thing (3:17)
04. Let Go Of The Reins (5:21)

11. Old Silver Bridge (3:46)

J.P. Soars’ LET GO OF THE REINS was recorded during a whirlwind weeklong session at Tab Benoit’s Whiskey Bayou studios in Houma Louisiana, with a band featuring Red Hots drummer Chris Peet on bass, and Benoit on drums. Together they recorded eleven songs in five days – seven originals which they wrote on the spot, plus four choice covers. The inspiration for the album came from the many nights they all spent jamming into the wee hours on the Legendary Rhythm and Blues Cruise and at the Big Blues Bender, and as expected, they captured many magical musical moments on this record. In the decade since Soars burst upon the national scene by winning 1st place in the Blues Foundation’s 2009 International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN with his band the Red Hots (and was also crowned with the prestigious Albert King Award as best guitarist,) Arkansas native J.P. Soars has toured extensively through the United States, Canada, South America and Europe, and released an impressive catalog of powerful music. In addition to his work with his own Red Hots, Soars has been part of the regional allstar blues act Southern Hospitality, also featuring Tampa vocalist/guitarist Damon Fowler and Memphis vocalist/keyboardist Victor Wainwright, plus Red Hots drummer Chris Peet and Wainwright’s bassist Terrance Grayson. In 2019 Soars was nominated for the Blues Foundation’s Blues Music Award in the Blues Rock category, alongside blues heavyweights Billy F. Gibbons, Eric Gales, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and Tinsley Ellis. J.P is soaring high, and psyched about the new record: “LET GO OF THE REINS was written and recorded very organically and honestly. We captured the moment, and what a spectacular and special moment it was. I hope you enjoy this record as much as we enjoyed making it.”

Like every musician, guitarist and vocalist JP Soars is a combination of his influences. But unlike every musician, and particularly unlike every blues artist, Soars has an uncommonly-deep influential reservoir to draw from. His latest CD, 2014's Full Moon Night in Memphis, offers proof. Its blues variations include the funky, tongue-in-cheek "Back To Broke," the Latin-peppered jazz of "Lil' Mamacita," and the rollicking "Somethin' Ain't Right," featured in a powerful Soars music video and in frequent play on Little Steven's "Underground Garage" XM Radio program.

In his formative years, Soars recorded and toured as far as Europe with metal bands from South Florida. He's been back much more recently with his gifted Red Hots quartet, having recently played the Baltic Sea Festival in Germany, the Liberation Day Festival in Holland, and other dates in Belgium, France and Austria before extensive touring throughout the United States and Canada. And few blues players have also taken on the challenge of the complex style of Gypsy jazz guitar icon Django Reinhardt like Soars has with his long-standing "Gypsy Jazz" side project.

All of Soars' studio releases, including Back of My Mind (2008) and More Bees With Honey (2011), offer a unique blues dialect that helps him stand apart from the expected post-Stevie Ray Vaughan, Fender Strat guitar pack.

JP Soars - 2 albums: More Bees With Honey / Back Of My Mind

Since starting his recording career as a blues artist with the critically-acclaimed 2008 CD Back of My Mind, guitarist and vocalist JP Soars has channeled uncommon influences into a signature sound. Anyone could simply list revered blues artists like Muddy Waters and Guitar Slim, jazz guitar giants like Django Reinhardt and Wes Montgomery, and uncompromising rock acts like Black Sabbath and Slayer, but Soars has lived the diversity-cutting his teeth touring and recording with South Florida metal bands, and learning the complex style of Reinhardt to continue to perform in "Gypsy Jazz" solo and duo settings. All of these artists, and more, color and shade Soars' blues vocals and playing, whether on his hollow bodied Epiphone six-string or home-made, two-string cigar box slide guitar.

In 2009, Soars' unique approach paid off as he and his trio The Red Hots defeated bands from around the world to win the annual International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN. Soars also won the Albert King Award for most promising guitarist. The group then channeled the excitement of that victory into its sophomore CD, the 2011 release More Bees With Honey. Like Back of My Mind, it received substantial airplay on XM Radio, even earning accolades from Little Steven on his "Underground Garage" program.
