Back to Artist Main Listing

Paul Oscher, Blues singer, songwriter, recording artist, and multi-instrumentalist, (harmonica, guitar, piano) first came to national attention as Muddy Waters' harmonica player, 1967-1972 following in the foot steps of little Waiter, Junior Wells, James Cotton, and Big Walter Horton. Paul appeared on five albums with Muddy for the legendary Chess Record Company of Chicago, including the heralded Live at Mr. Kelly's. Besides Muddy, Paul has worked and/or recorded with a veritable "Who's who" in the world of Blues including Otis Spann, John Lee Hooker, Earl Hooker, Johnny Young, Buddy Guy, T-Bone Walker, Big Mama Thornton, Louisiana Red, Johnny Copeland, and numerous others. Paul Oscher was the first white musician in the world to become a full time member of a Blues band of the stature of the Muddy Waters Band. He's has been playing the Blues for over 30 years in diversified venues, from the "juke joints" and black theaters of the "chitlin circuit" to major concert stages of the world. He remains true to the spirit of the Blues of his predecessors and continues to be a major influence on the Blues scene.
