JD McPherson (Jonathan David McPherson, born April 14, 1977) is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. He is known for a retro sound rooted in the rock and roll, rhythm and blues, and rockabilly music of the 1950s. Among more obvious influences like Little Richard and Fats Domino, McPherson also draws inspiration from artists as diverse as the Wu-Tang Clan, Pixies, and Led Zeppelin. McPherson grew up in rural southeastern Oklahoma, near the town of Talihina. He took up the guitar at age 13. In high school he played in a number of local punk rock bands and began writing his own songs. During this time, McPherson also developed a strong interest in 1950s rock and roll after being exposed to the music of Buddy Holly. He studied visual arts in college, earning an M.F.A. from the University of Tulsa, and later worked as an art and technology teacher. After deciding to pursue music more seriously, McPherson sent a demo to Jimmy Sutton of Hi-Style Records, a label specializing in roots music. Sutton agreed to produce McPherson's debut album, which was released in 2010. His debut album Signs and Signifiers was released in 2010 on Hi-Style Records. The album was given a major-label release by Rounder Records on April 17, 2012, debuting at number one on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart and number 161 on the Billboard 200 the week of June 2, 2012. It also reached number 47 on the Billboard Rock Albums chart. The single "Your Love (All That I'm Missing)", from the album Signs and Signifiers, was released by Rounder/Hi-Style in the UK on June 18, 2012. On November 19, 2012 Rolling Stone Magazine labeled McPherson an "Artist to Watch" in a 3 1/2 star (out of 5) review of Signs and Signifiers. McPherson's second album, Let the Good Times Roll, was released on February 10th, 2015.
