JD SIMO at Paste Studio NYC live from The Manhattan Center 

Saw JD in a tiny club in Phoenix last year. Red 335 and a Super Reverb all night long... LOUDEST show I've ever been to in my life. It was like being locked in a closet with Cream--and that's not a bad thing!

Oh my GOD it's refreshing to hear someone who ISN'T an srv clone.

Every time I think I need a new boutique amp or some crazy expensive pedal I just watch JD plug straight into a deluxe and absolutely crush it

JD is the real deal, I'm a believer. The drummer and bassist are amazing - full credit!

This guy is one of the best bluesman of the moment !!!

Tight band! The drummer really stands out. Authentic sounding stuff.

That slide tone could swim through land! So much stank on it!🔥

Lucky enough to see JD with Tommy Emmanuel in Coventry, England last night. Two fantastic guitarists and entertainers, also taking time after the show to speak to fans (thank you). If you get the chance go see

jd is a breath of frsh air. started out on the street corners at nashville.

Andraleiea gettin' her groove on! She got the space jam thang!

JD was second warmup band to Allman Betts show last night. Stole the show!

I cant help but think jd gonna blow the minds of allman n betts when they meet up....what a really cool billing.....

Awesome! That Pelham Blue ES is killing it. His voice reminds me more and more of Henrik Freischlader. Refreshing ole Blues!

he play, feel, speak about music with knowledge and that's enough for me

This dude is single handedly keepin the music alive. KILLIN the Magic Sam!!!!!!!

Surely an old soul. JD always amaze me.

That 355 is SWAG

Love JD. First met him when he played with the Don Kelley Band in Nashville, oh so many years ago. Even got a JD Simo guitar pick!

I could listen to this all day.....all year...

I feel like I just took a bath in a big pool of reverb.

The only thing going through my head throughout the entire video was 'Shiiiiiit JD sounds so authentic'!

Awesome exciting blues! This fender amp's reverb is good!

So powerful and authentic !!! LOVE IT !!!

Damn can’t believe I’m just really discovering JD..I’ve herd his name a ton but never listened..glad I did today 🙌🏾

JD is the Man. He has chops for days, but goes up a very different road when he turns his hand to the blues. A master of the trade.

The drummer is exceptional

I have never heard of this guy gefore.Very impressive.

Wow, JD rules!

So happy to have come across JD recently by way of Daniel Donato. This is awesome stuff! The whole band is killing it but JD is something else, what a monster of a player.

Tightest three piece band!! Holy cow man... Bass is HOT! She could smile a little

AMAZING JD.....INSPIRING

This is an unreal show!

yeah jd is the man for sure.....tone taste and touch....

His voice sounds great here!

killer bass player too

Wow, they improvise like hell and play off the seat of their pants. Bass player has some serious groove as does the Drummer. Together theyre killing it.

This is great music, I'm happy to have found it

sweet, got my face meltage for the day

JD killed it in Tarrytown last night, opening for Allman-Betts band. Amazing.

Love his psychedelic twist on some blues

Awesome JD....ruling!!!!

Such a minimal setup...yet sounds so good.

Use headphones if you got em, nice jam at the end

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! goose bumps! you guys ROCK!!!

This was one of those hits, when you let all of the air out of your lungs,... then just pull one long toke!

That old blues stuff stay's strong. Those Excello blues cats were just great. Check them out. Lester, Slim, Harpo etc.

Ol’ blue sounds great. Bass player was gettin it as well.

Great band. Props to the drummer.

Epic JD🔥🔥🔥👊🏻

keeping it alive JD!!!!

Just saw JD and band play tonight. Instant fan!

slim harpo...jd has got it down....then throws in the wah...reverb....good stuff..

Crushing it.

Wow, what a great energy, blessed by god!

Can’t wait for the new record!

Saw him for the first time last night. Great stuff!

WoW what a talent...Stunnin

.....This set is Aawesome

Love to jam with this guy.....

That color is so cool

This is fucking crazy good! JD, I’ll be there in Paris to see u and the band. They are amazing!

I used to watch Luther Tucker play the Magic Sam song in a small club in the early 90’s. I always thought it was a play on the Green Acres theme until now.

Such a great player, great trio too. I love the sound of those drums, fantastic drummer.

Bloody fantastic ....

It goes strait to my soul !!! !!! !!!

The world would be much better off if there were more JD Simo's!! Always brings it and gives it up to us wanna' be players.

amazing, could listen to that all day long, best thing heard for a long time i think? hope he can get over to UK one day?

Also...I’m not a drummer but dangggg that kit sounds good

Brilliant.

That bass was next level.

With all the wacky jamming and jazzy drumming style , it reminds me of Alvin Lee and Ten Years After .

The Yardbirds used to play this number at the Crawdaddy club London in 1965.

Say jd play tonight in Nj-this guy is phenomenal

I wish my drummer would play like that sometimes...

Met JD and Nick Sterling at Warsaw Wally's here in Phoenix back in 2000. JD was 15 years old and Nick was 10. Got a pic I took of them both jamming with I believe the house band The Rocket 88's. They both recorded and released live albums that year. I've often wondered if any of that was recorded at that gig. It's been great seeing how far their careers have gone. Love JD's band. The drummer and bass player really drive his playing well. Kind of reminds me of Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding. He definitely has his own sound.

Saw them at The Pour House in Charleston SC. I live 5 doors down from the venue. Travesty that only 25 people were there. My old man got to fondle Jd's ES 5 and we hung out with the band after for drinks. Will never forget it.

Jesus! This guy is somethin' else!

J.D.!!!!

Other than the interviewer cutting him off from time to time, this performance was LIT! 🔥🤙🏼

The slide with the Wah is really great sounding

Have Mercy!

This guy rocks

Great, JD and the rythm sec. ! Why does he remind me so much of jack black? :D

Good lord....just that first note tells you everything you need to know about about the beast that is JD Simo. ..Fucking flawless technique. *jaw on floor*

Man that was a kool version of Little Bit!!!!!!!

This gentleman knows how to let it go !

"Dig the thing, man." :D

OMG, I'm just discovering this guy. Soon as he started talking about Lightning Hopkins I was a fan.

very cool

Go get that Earl Hooker record he was incredible Rock on JD you guys are wonderful

I've got a matte black dangelico thats looks like that but will never be ever to compare

I'm diggin it

That Gibby sounds fire!

Special my friend.

No such thing as too much reverb

gutsy, risky, non cliche, blues playing right here

Rythmn section here is awesome

He's getting that southern draw very minimal but it's their you can't help it it just becomes a part of you.

Cool !😎✌🎸

Only 39000 views 1 year after? Something's really wrong with the world today! I dig JD, hope he stays healthy and sane
