Papa Hoodoo Medicine Show was formed in 2004 by the guitar duo PoorBob and Doc Lane with the intention of creating a band different from most groups on the jamband scene. Their vision is to combine their current jamband style with a unique feel, capturing the gut of delta blues guitar while applying contemporary grooves and rhythms. This vision led the duo to go on to find band members Wes Jensen, Jay Roosa and Billy Cristiani. Billy has since left the band and we wish him great success and good swamp'in throughout his career.
Papa Hoodoo now welcomes Sanjay Subramanian as our new Bassist.
The bands sound continues to develop with Sanjay, his jamming abilities are inspiring new avenues within the creative backbone of the band, staying true to Papa's jamband genre of blues, jazz, folk, rock, americana and world music.
The band enjoys "swamping out" their songs, both covers and originals,
to create a melting pot of old and new.
Papa Hoodoo has shared the stage with many artists including Marshall Tucker, Commander Cody, John Hammond and Rick Derringer, at venues such as BB King's, The Turning Point, Mexicali Blues, and the Meadowlands. With strong songwriting and composition abilities combined with the finest improvisational skills, Papa Hoodoo continues to recreate themselves and shape-shift into many forms leaving hints of The Grateful Dead, Miles Davis, Gov't Mule, Jimi Hendrix, Delta Blues, and Voodoo Swamp.
