About Blame Papa

A new take on America's musical roots

Blame Papa plays Blues, R&B, and Americana with enthusiasm and joy in a way that connects with any audience. We perform both cover and original songs and have a portfolio of music that is always growing. We have committed ourselves to selecting and performing great tunes with a style that is familiar and yet still fresh. We can scale our performances from small coffee shops to full outdoor shows and all venues in between.

Coming off of a short but successful run with The Sketchy Messengers, Jeorgia and Jay were writing and continuing to develop their musical direction. With a stack of tunes in front of them and a desire to push from the blues into a musical style that was more Americana than anything else, they sought a like- minded vocalist who could sing and write with them. They found that Laurie fit the bill when they determined that her goals and theirs lined up quite well and the old school R&B that she loves fit snugly into the blues-tinged Americana they were already playing. With this new direction and purpose, we knew we needed a drummer who could drive these rhythms with finesse. We found our drummer in Ben. Ben has a great feel and his creative input keeps us going in the right direction. We now work to give a great show every time out and we are continually working to develop new material to best show off the talents that we have brought together as Blame Papa.
