JP Cooper announced as special guest for Gregory Porter at Lincoln Castle

JP Cooper has written hundreds of songs as a solo artist as well as with a wide variety of collaborators, a couple of which became global hits-that- will-not-die. Perfect Strangers with Jonas Blue has over 2 billion worldwide streams to date, and his own September Song is now closing in on 1 billion worldwide streams, not to mention a handful of his own songs streaming in the 100’s of millions.

His 18 million monthly listeners, across all DSPs, have contributed to a grand – very grand – total of almost six billion total streams and counting. JP has built a successful international solo career based on a combination of pure songcraft and relentless graft.

JP is poised to release his third album, the details for which are incoming but suffice to say it’s the sound of an artist developing, stretching and reaching, both inwards and outwards. He has put in the work, reached the milestones and done himself proud. “And I’m only just getting started,” he promises.

With the stunning addition of JP Cooper, the concert at Lincoln Castle is going to be a night to remember! There are limited tickets left for this show so promoters Cuffe and Taylor are advising to purchase tickets sooner rather than later to avoid any disappointment.

JP Cooper comments:

"I’m so so excited to have been asked to join Gregory Porter on a few of his outdoor UK performances this summer. My wife and I have been huge fans for a long while now so it’s an honour to be invited to perform with such an amazing artist. These shows are in such beautiful settings, what a way to spend a summer evening. I’m very grateful for opportunities like this. I’ll look forward to seeing you all there.”
