XPN Artist To Watch JD McPherson returns to Philadelphia on Friday November 2 for a sold out show at
Johnny Brendas, and he'll be our guest for a Free At Noon concert.
Oklahoma artist JD McPherson and his band brought their retro-infused rock & roll sound to the
XPoNential Music Festival last summer. And, his debut album,
Signs and Signifiers, released in April was both an XPN Featured Album of the Week, and CD of the Month this year. The album captures his appreciation of classic rock 'n' roll; the guitarist's gift lies in his ability to repackage timeless sounds into catchy, relevant tunes. McPherson also made a stop on the
World Cafe with host David Dye in August. Listen to J.D. McPherson's World Cafe session on
TheKey.XPN.org, and check out the video of him performing "Farmer John" onstage at the Festival.
