Join John Paul and Friends at BB's Lawnside BBQ every Thursday night!!!

John Paul Drum is one of Kansas City's most recognized Blues musicians. A long-time student of and friend to KC harp master Provine "Little" Hatch, Jr., John Paul spent years learning from one of the true masters of Blues harp, and all those years of 'woodshedding' with Hatch has certainly paid ample dividends. John Paul's tone is at times clear as the proverbial crystal bell, but can also find its way straight to the Blues gutter with a growling sound best described as "raw as hell and twice as hot!"

John Paul has been a regular performer at BB's Lawnside BBQ, one of the Midwest's most respected Blues venues, for the past decade and a half. John Paul and the Hellhounds have also played major festivals like the Kansas City Blues & Jazz Festival, the Kansas City Blues & Heritage Festival, the Kansas City Kansas Street Blues Festival, and the Kansas City Spirit Festival. You can also catch John Paul and the Hellhounds at Blues venues and festivals across the Midwest.

Simply put, if you like your Blues heated up by a blistering harp, you will love John Paul and the Hellhounds. And if you don't like your Blues heated up by a blistering harp, then what in the world is wrong with your head? Get it together, brother, or I'll sick a Hellhound on your tail!
