An electric and acoustic blend of roots rock and soul.  Oates is best know as half of the rock and soul duo Hall & Oates.

John Oates was destined to be a musician. Singing from the time he could talk and playing the guitar since the age of five, his calling in life was never in question.  Born in New York City, his family moved to a small town outside of Philadelphia, PA in the early 50’s - a move that would change the course of his life.  Like most kids at that time, the impact of the early days of rock left a lasting impression on John.  At the age of four he witnessed his first live concert: Bill Haley and the Comets playing their classic rockabilly hits at a local amusement park. then there were the records…

he began to collect 45 tpm singles - treasures from Little Richard, Chuck Berry, the Everely brothers, Gary US Bonds, and of course, Elvis.  He spent coutless hours twisting the dial on his AM transistor radio trying to tune in the local R&B stations and listening to DJs like Jerry Blavat spinning obscure Do Wop records.

A Grammy-Award winning blues guitarist and singer-songwriter known for his expressive singing and guitar playing. Rolling Stone magazine ranked him at #3 on its list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time.

His reign as King of the Blues has been as long as that of any monarch on earth.  Yet B.B. King continues to wear his crown well. At age 80, he is still light on his feet, singing and playing the blues with relentless passion.  Time has no apparent effect on B.B., other than to make him more popular, more cherished, more relevant than ever.  Don?t look for him in some kind of semi-retirement; look for him out on the road, playing for people, popping up in a myriad of T.V. commercials, or laying down tracks for his next album.  B.B. King is as alive as the music he plays, and a grateful world can?t get enough of him.
