Paul Schalda’s Live At Niles City Sound, is out now. When you hear his music, you’ll notice that his road hasn’t been easy. His voice can be hauntingly harsh, yet hopeful and tender, raucous and gravelly one moment, smooth and intimate the next. The lead track, “Apparent Now”, captures all of that, through the soul of his lyrics and the urgency of his voice. His prior solo project, Paul and the Tall Trees, had three stellar releases on Big Crown Records, where Paul worked with Tommy Brenneck (Charles Bradley, Budos Band) at the production helm with additional production contributions from Leon Michels (Norah Jones, Clairo).
