Currently he sings and plays with the DavePaul5 at venues throughout Walla Walla. Drawing upon a deep and varied songbook that includes dozens of originals, Paul’s rare solo shows focus on his fingerpicking skills as he reinvigorates classic songs by Dylan, Neil Young, Gram Parsons and John Prine.

For this special show at the Royal Block Paul will perform acoustic versions of self-penned songs from both DavePaul5 albums, along with previews of songs from his upcoming solo album.
