ABOUT JOHN PAUL "JP" SOARS:
Hello,
First I want to say thanks for checking me out.
I started playing the guitar at age 11. I grew up in Cedarville, Arkansas and moved to South Florida in 1985 when I was 16. I really got into metal at this time, but at the same time I was also into Hendrix, ZZ-top, and the Beatles; stuff that my parents and uncles listened to. When I moved to Florida and heard bands like Metallica, Anthrax and Slayer, I thought wow!!! Never heard music like this!! I started playing in metal bands. I played with a local metal band called Raped Ape for about 8 years, this is where I learned about being precise and being tight and what it means to really practice as a band, as a unit. We developed a really big following and got signed to Century Media Records after changing our name to Paingod. Shortly after the album's release we disbanded.
I went on to play with South Florida's Malevolent Creation for a short while and recorded one album with them. After that, I, along with Jason Blachowitz and Derik Roddy formed Divine Empire. We Released 4 albums on Olympic Records and Century Media Records. We toured the US and Canada numerous times, as well as Europe, South America and Puerto Rico. During this time I also put together a band called Burner and released one CD on Arctic Music Group recordings. Then there are the two Wynjara discs which were released on Nocturnal Art Productions Records.
During this time of playing metal I was also captivated by the Blues and the music of Django Reinhardt. I was playing in these metal bands but listening to mostly blues, and Gypsy jazz. I made my departure from Divine Empire in 2005 and have since been focusing on Blues and Gypsy Jazz.
I have a band called The Gypsy Blue Acoustic Revue. I also play with my own blues band, "JP Soars and the Red Hots." Early in '08, we were winners of the South Florida Blues Society's International Blues Challenge and went on to compete in Memphis in the finals. I also do side work for various local and national Artists. I am currently recording my 1st blues disc which I plan to release in September of 2008
Thanks for checking me out and enjoy the music.
