Biography

JD McPherson is an American rock & roll singer-songwriter and guitarist born on April 14, 1977, in Tulsa. Raised in rural Oklahoma, he played guitar as a teenager, played in local bands and began to write songs. He obtained a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Tulsa but decided to go into the entertainment business inspired by his love of 1950s rock & rollers such as Buddy Holly and Little Richard. His debut album, Signs & Signifiers (2012), topped Billboard's Heatseekers Albums Chart but peaked at number 47 on the Top Rock Albums Chart. Let the Good Times Roll (2015) went to number 1 on Heatseekers and reached number 17 on the Rock Chart. That year, he played on the Glastonbury Festival's acoustic stage and appeared in The Mr. Peabody & Sherman Show on Netflix. Undivided Heart & Soul (2017) was also a Heatseekers number 1 and went to number 3 on the Americana/Folk Albums Chart, number 4 on the Independent Albums Chart, and number 19 on the Rock Chart. He followed up in 2018 with a holiday album titled Socks, which entered the Top 5 on the Heatseekers chart. After touring with Alison Krauss and Robert Plant as both a guitarist and opening act in 2022, JD McPherson returned in 2024 with Nite Owls, his fifth studio LP.
