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.
