BIO:
After his first musical endeavor in New Orleans’ own Backbeats, and a stint in New York in the late eighties where he befriended artist Michelle Shocked and refined his art in the flourishing “anti-folk” scene, Paul returned home to New Orleans in the early ‘90s to help form Cowboy Mouth (CM) whose popularity and ambitious touring schedule kept him on the road for most of 16 years.
Though he contributed greatly to the band’s catalogue and success, Paul was left unsatisfied artistically. His desire to make music that was closer to his heart and better demonstrated his talent as a singer/songwriter led to a solo career that paralleled his day job, and he recorded seven solo albums while performing his duties in the band. When Katrina ravaged the gulf, Paul was on tour with CM. Attempting to process the extent of the losses; he stayed on tour and wrote perhaps the best post-Katrina tribute to date, “Home”. The song was released on Cowboy Mouth's album Voodoo Shoppe. Paul’s music has also appeared on CMT's Travel America series, Homicide: Life on the Streets, The Accused (starring Jodie Foster), Underneath (by Steven Soderbergh), and the independent film, At Last (starring Martin Donovan and Kelly Lynch), for which Paul was also musical supervisor, and his song "Hurricane Party" is featured during storm season on NPR. Further contributing to his soon to be legendary status is the inclusion of his song, "At the Foot of Canal Street", co-written with New Orleans Jazz great John Boutte, on the critically acclaimed Shout Factory New Orleans musical-history boxed-set, Doctors, Professors, Kings and Queens, a Big Ole Box of New Orleans
