Book JD McPherson
JD McPherson is a Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, guitarist and songwriter celebrated for a vintage sound grounded in 1950s rockabilly, R&B and early rock and roll. Raised on a cattle ranch near Talihina, he picked up the guitar at 13, played in punk bands through high school and fell hard for early rock after discovering Buddy Holly. That passion shaped his early groups The Starkweather Boys and The Poison Okies before his solo breakout. Alongside Little Richard and Fats Domino, he counts influences as varied as Led Zeppelin, Pixies and the Wu-Tang Clan, which gives his throwback style a modern edge. McPherson, who also holds a MFA from the University of Tulsa, debuted with Signs & Signifiers (2010) and followed with Let the Good Times Roll (2015), Undivided Heart & Soul (2017), the holiday record Socks (2018), The Warm Covers LP (2023) and Nite Owls (2024). His live shows are sweaty, joyful dance parties, powered by slapback guitar, pounding rhythm and a voice made for classic rock and roll.
