PAUL OSCHER

Paul Oscher  is a blues singer and multi-instrumentalist (harmonica, guitar and piano), who became the first Caucasian member of the great Muddy Waters Blues Band (1967-1971) when he was a teenager. Paul recorded with Muddy for Chess Records and traveled the world with Muddy’s band. Paul has also performed and/or recorded with T-Bone Walker, Otis Spann, John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy, Johnny Young, Johnny CopeIand, Big Joe Turner, Louisiana Red, Big Mama Thornton, Victoria Spivey, Eric Clapton, Hubert Sumlin Keith Richards, Levon Helm  and more. 

Paul Oscher inspired a whole generation of blues players including Rick Estrin, Jerry Portnoy, Paul Delay, and William Clark. He is not a retro player. He just plays the blues the way he learned them… lowdown and lonesome and has been doing so for the last fifty years. 

Paul is working on a book about his life in  the blues. He is also on the Board of Directors of  the non-profit organization “Muddy Waters’ Mojo Museum” making Muddy’s Waters south side Chicago home into a museum.
