John Paul Drum has been playing harmonica for close to forty years. It was one of the first instruments he can remember besides the old upright piano the family had in their home. He‘ll tell you he has only been really playing the “Harp” for around thirty years. While searching for a new way to musically express himself in the early eighties he found the music of the old harmonica masters, ie; Little Walter Jacobs and Sonny Boy Williamson II. From that point on he engrossed himself in the blues harmonica and moved to Kansas City.There he fell under the wing of KC Blues harmonica man Little Hatch. Hatch informed John Paul that he was the only harp player he cared to share a stage with. World famous Harmonica Bluesman Sugar Blue (of Rolling Stones fame “Miss You”) also tutored John Paul and they have remained friends over the years.After fronting such bands as the Swingin’ Swamis, Lonesome & Dangerous, and The Cat Dancin’ Band, he formed John Paul & The HellHounds in the spring of 1990. As a band leader, it was that band’s eight year stretch that he; broadened his technic and voice, captured three best band crowns, had numerous appearances at the Kansas City Blues & Jazz festival (among others), and gained a reputation as a topnotch musician and entertainer. He has also toured four countries in Europe and was greatly received (https://johnpauldrum.rocks/the-blue-devils/).
