Hailing from Rochester, New York, Gregory Paul is a musical generator of acoustic powered emo soul driven pop. Described by Billboard as "a hybrid of atmospheric ambience and powerful acoustics" Paul displays influences ranging from folk, pop, ambient, art rock, and world music. Although his strength as a songwriter stands on its own, Paul's live set is enhanced with trance-like improvisations accompanied by the urban flavored drumming of Aaron Boucher (the bald guy). His presence greatly compliments Paul's vocal and acoustic styling creating a much fuller sound than would be expected from just two performers...If one closes their eyes during a performance it sounds as if there are twice as many musicians...They project a crisp, forceful yet hypnotic sound from the stage, leaving the listener transfixed.

historical perspectives...

In 1997 Gregory Paul released his first solo album, an eclectic mix of acoustic based ambient atmospherics with several songs engineered and recorded by Kramer (of Shimmy Disc fame). 1998 saw the addition of drummer Aaron Boucher. They were semi finalists in SPIN Magazine's best unsigned band contest in 1998. March of 2001 they played on the main stage at the NACA Great Lakes Conference in Delaware, Ohio and received a standing ovation. In addition Gregory and Aaron have continued to perform throughout the Northeastern US while releasing two more independent albums. Since then the two have played over 300 shows including opening spots for The Moody Blues, Foreigner, Blue Oyster Cult, Karen Savoca & Pete Heitzman, Matthew Sweet, G Love & Special Sauce, Jonatha Brooke, Chris Whitley, Dexter Grove, One World Tribe, Leona Ness, Leslie Nuss, Jeremy Toback, Adrian Legg, Dave Mason, and The Miracles.

what's gonna happen now?

Gregory and Aaron plan to continue performing, touring and recording while building up a diverse grass roots fan base.
