Richie had just introduced a new Gospel Rock group called Fresh Flavor on The Tonight Show, starring Johnny Carson and wanted to add a rhythm element and there was Bug, in the right place at the right time. While on tour with Flavor, he met the Godfather of British Blues, legendary Alexis Korner. After finishing his time with Flavor, Poppa met many of NY's fine musicians, including Eric Oxendine, Murray Weinstock of Manhattan Transfer, Rob Gerstein who played with Carly Simon and world-famous drummer Bernard Purdie of Aretha Franklin fame. John also worked with George Caldwell of CBS London. Hanging out in the Village John was inspired by jamming in many of the village's fine clubs including, The Bitter End, The Dug Out, The Village Gate & The Café Wha. Thirteen years ago, John decided to change his direction and go back to his roots, playing music, writing songs and just living again. Poppa teamed up with his New Jersey friends and are known as “The Jam Band” they are currently working in the Studio and Showcase circuit. After three years of recording at Shore Fire Studios with engineer Joseph D’Maio, his new CD “Before & After” reflects his music from ‘Before’ & his music which is ‘Now’ expressed on this CD!! Poppa got his guitar strumming influence from the one and only rhythm master Richie Havens. ** ** ALSO ON AUDIO: SPOTIFY http://spoti.fi/3bMYVYW GOOGLE PODCASTS http://bit.ly/38yH3yP edits by Claudine Smith- Email: [email protected] ** PLEASE SUBSCRIBE (You can almost find any subject you want) #animalwelfare #animalrescue #climatechange #ONEHEALTH #womenshealth #popculture #military #singersongwriter #clerks #GenZ #Nutrition #Comedy
