	John Popper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Popper was born March 29, 1967 in Cleveland, Ohio and is the frontman and a founding member of the jam band Blues Traveler.
		Popper has remained the lead-man in the band; his trademarks include his strong tenor voice and a U.S. Army ammunition belt hung from the back of his neck over both sides of his chest to hold the variety of harmonicas he uses.
		Popper also composed and performed the theme song for the hit TV series Roseanne, which was an instrumental for most of the show's run, but actually featured his vocals during the final season.

	John Popper: Blues Traveler with a harp
		John Popper, as any harmonica player (and many non-harmonica players) knows, is the lead singer, main songwriter, and harmonica player for Blues Traveler, an increasingly popular rock band whose inspirations include the Grateful Dead, and whose recent credits include opening for the Rolling Stones on that band's latest US tour.
		Popper breaks little or no new ground on this record in terms of either the melodic content or the basic structure of his solos.
		That said, Popper's instrumental technique is exceptionally good, especially in terms of his breathing (which is very fluid and quick) and his left hand, the latter being the key factor in moving the harmonica rapidly and precisely.

	Zygote - John Popper - Song Listings
		Popper is undeniably a strong presence in Blues Traveler, contributing not only the lead vocals, but co-writing songs and often putting his considerable harmonica prowess at center stage.
		Popper's debut album Zygote is clearly a solo album, emphasizing everything that he contributes to the band -- his supple singing, elongated phrasing, affection for blues-rock and astounding harmonica playing.
		Popper's lyrics wind around themselves so much it's hard to tell if it's actually introspective, but in this case, the appearence counts for more than the reality, since the feeling is more important than the details.

		Popper was less equivocal in a 1996 interview with MTV.
		For example, www.BluesTraveler.net notes: "Popper is widely known as a gun-rights advocate." In a 1997 interview in Rolling Stone, Popper said he supported the repeal of most gun laws.
		In an interview on Launch Music On Yahoo (October 10, 1997), Popper said he collected "firearms and swords" as a hobby, and said he loved the "aesthetic of weaponry" because they were "designed to be life-savingly efficient." In May 1999, Popper defended Second Amendment rights on MTV's Point Blank, a round-table discussion about gun control.

	ISTHMUS \| The Daily Page \| The Guide -- The John Popper Project CANCELLED
		The John Popper Project, or JPP, is a groundbreaking collaboration that is spawned from the same groove-pop, roots-rock gene pool as Dave Matthews, John Mayer and Ben Harper.
		The John Popper Project featuring DJ Logic, produced by Craig Street (Norah Jones, Chris Whitley, Me' shell Ndegeocello, Chocolate Genius), introduces 13 blues-tinged rock tunes that in concert may spread out into spontaneous improvisations, but in the studio have the snap of compact, well-structured pop.
		Relix Records and The John Popper Project believe that JPP's inventive organic rock collaboration will prove to be enjoyed by fans of Blues Traveler and DJ Logic, as well as new additions to the fold.

		Conspicuously absent is the rapid-firing harmonica that is Popper's trademark.

		John Popper clearly wanted to have a little fun on his solo debut, but he also wanted to get personal.
		Zygote: John Popper's 1999 solo album: extremely excellent, could be easily mistaken for a Blues Traveler album (since what makes most of the BT sound is John's vocals and bluesharp) to the untrained ear, but it's got a certain freshness due to guitarist Crugie (Riccio, but he never lists his last name, ever)'s writing.
		Popper in which he discusses this sensational solo venture, he explains that he wanted to try something different.

		John Popper crashed and burned with his new alum Zygote.
		Maybe that's my problem, I was hoping John Popper would take the Blues Traveler formula and build on it for his first solo effort.

	Blues Traveler’s John Popper
		Popper is checking his blood sugar three times a day and has hired a chef to travel with him.
		Popper's mettle began on the night of Oct. 20, 1992, when he was in a near-fatal motorcycle accident in Louisiana.
		Popper, who treats touring as if he were a conquering emperor, shading the areas on a map where the band has played, is already looking to the future.

		Over the early 1990's, John would play a half-dozen more solo sets, all but one at the Wetlands Preserve, and would also occasionally play a song or two solo at the band's full shows to give the rest of the band a break.
		John played solo for an hour, and then recruited Eric Schenkman out of the audience to join him on a few new Blues Traveler tunes and some old blues standards.
		It was not until the summer of 1998 that word got around about John doing some songwriting with Jonny Lang, and in the fall of that same year, John revealed that the band would be taking most of 1999 off and that he had been writing some material for a solo project.

		Popper, a singer/harpist, experienced astounding success with his original band, earning a fervent grass-roots following during the early 1990s on the basis of their relentless touring schedule and a sprawling blues-rock sound.
		Those who have heard "Zygote", John's first solo album, and/or Frogwings' "Croakin' at Toad's" may have caught that they have different characters to them than anything BT has done, and "The John Popper Project" is the same in this respect.
		This is John and Tad (bass) from BT along with Marcus Bleecker (drums) and DJ Logic (turntables), and a number of the songs sound like Blues Traveler with more of a beat, groove and rhythm to it.

		With Chris Farley gone, John Popper, overweight lead singer of the rock band Blues Traveler, is now the undisputed Most Likely Famous Fat Guy to Die.
		Popper's strength as a contender springs from the incessant touring and apparent liberal drug use of his band, in addition to his large size.
		Popper's own admittance that he has been unsuccessful in dieting in any way or exercising at all ever, makes him a close favorite over the next most likely famous fat guy to die, Marlon Brando.

	Richard Hunter/harmonica: About John Popper
		John Popper is a fine musician and songwriter whose recent success is much deserved.
		Popper's harmonica work is strikingly original, which is the source both of its strength and of the knee-jerk rejection that it has inspired in many harmonica players.
		I fail to see why his sources are inferior to any found in the blues canon, or why anyone should demand that John sound more like a typical blues player, no matter what his band is named.

		Deep within the womb of the pocket is where the music of the John Popper Project has nestled itself.

		With the band in the studio for the first time, the disc's tracks were created as spontaneously as the group itself, with all four band members contributing equally to the songwriting process.
