​JP Ruggieri from the album Waiting on You available on Benafue Records
 
JP Ruggieri tamed a childhood stutter by singing, recalling that ‘while speaking was a constant struggle, I learned at an early age that we stutterers have this wonderful ability to sing in perfect fluency. As a result, the only way I felt like I could truly say what I wanted to was through writing songs and singing them’. Singing took JP Ruggieri into Berklee School of Music, heading south after graduation to NYC and working as a sideman on guitar and pedal steel as he crafted on his own songs. He landed in Nashville, Tennessee, gathering the results of his songwriting on the recent EP release, Waiting on You. The title track opens the album on a slowly revolving rhythm. JP Ruggieri stretching his heartstrings tight, pleading over steamy Soul “Don’t Break My Heart” while he finds “The Meaning” in a flurry of percussion and admits “I Don’t Want to Grow Up” on a dreamy soundscape of scattered sonics. Notes poking at a chugging groove, Waiting on You reads fortunes with “Bumble Bee” while JP Ruggieri lets an island breeze tickle the rhythm supporting him as he wonders “How Can A Man Live His Life without a Broken Heart”.
