Since 2018, he has been writing solo records, through which he processes life’s highs, lows and complexities. Inspired by the sounds of 1970s folk rock, his new record Marigold is a deeply personal story of growth. Listen to the first single from Marigold, “Tripping On the Moon.”
Opening for Paul will be Mary Scholz / 8 PM
Mary Scholz’s “songbird vocals” (Americana Highways) and evocative songwriting have made her a live circuit favorite for over a decade. With her unique brand of gritty folk charm, the Philly-born, LA-based artist forges a personal connection with her audience every time she takes the stage.
