🎶 JP Soars’ Gypsy Blue Revue
JP Soars’ Gypsy Blue Revue is one of the most exciting live projects to emerge in recent years – a fiery blend of blues, soul, Americana, and improvisational magic that turns every performance into a transformative experience.
JP Soars & The Red Hots
At the heart of the project is guitarist and vocalist JP Soars, originally from Anaheim, California. His musical journey has been anything but ordinary – from thrash metal to jazz before fully embracing the blues that made him an international name. Based in Florida, Soars has built a reputation as a world-class guitar slinger, with a distinctive tone and a deep, soulful voice.
Alongside him, Cleveland Frederick (bass) and Chris Peet (drums) form the powerhouse trio The Red Hots. With more than a decade of performing together, their tight chemistry is undeniable. In 2022, the trio was nominated for 4 Blues Music Awards, including:
- BB King Entertainer of the Year
- Band of the Year
- Instrumentalist of the Year – Guitar (JP Soars)
- Instrumentalist of the Year – Drums (Chris Peet)
The Magic of Anne Harris
