Buddy Holly’s Apartment Tapes, with J.P. McDermott

In the two months before the plane crash that took his life at the age of 22, Buddy Holly wrote some of his most beautiful and introspective songs, which he captured in a demo tape recorded in his apartment. Renowned performer J.P. McDermott takes a deep dive into these songs and explores where they came from, how Buddy’s recent move to Greenwich Village affected the young man from Texas, and where those songs might have taken him had he not boarded that plane. J.P. McDermott is an award-winning singer, guitarist, and bandleader, performing at venues from dive bars to embassy parties and festivals.
