Papa
J Hammond "Party God"
What do you get when you mix Louisiana Hot
Sauce with Southern California sunshine? You get Papa J. Hammond. Papa J. Hammond, AKA Joe Nelson, has been
playing Rock and Roll since about 10 minutes after Fats Domino invented the
stuff. Growing up in Southern California ‘Pop’, as he is known to his close
cool friends, cut his teeth on the Rhythm and Blues of the late 50’s and
60’s. Now living in paradise, Salida, Colorado,
Papa J. is an icon of the cool days of Rock and Roll. He has brought the
experience of the years to his latest album "Party God". Papa J. will be the first to let you know
that he has a "spiritual connection" with South Louisiana and New
Orleans. As he puts it, "New Orleans is the Mecca of Rock and Roll." He practices what he preaches. He’s been
to Jazz Fest countless times. He’s been to Mardi Gras and was featured as
guest artist by one of the high profile carnival krewes. He also co-wrote "Throw Me Somethin’
Mister", a soon to be Mardi Gras classic, with Pulitzer Prize nominee Ken
Wells. If you’re ever in Salida take a
walk over to the Victoria Saloon. Ask Peter about Papa J. Peter will let you
know how soulful Pop is. It’s worth the trip. Party God Too
