Susan J. Paul

My friend, the beautiful and talented Susan J. Paul crossed over on July 19, 2010, after a hard fought and spiritually charged, 7 year battle with ovarian cancer. It has been such a privilege to have known her and worked with her over the years. Our individual musical styles may not seem a match (hers: breathy, jazzy, poetic, “of the air”, mine: rootsy, twangy, “of the earth” – but somehow I think it worked.

I have been a fan of Susan’s since the first day I met her. Her friend made her sing to me in the ladies room of the Windrose in Long Beach (I was playing in a cover band at the time). She was severely shy, beyond anything I ever knew…and I was a really shy kid myself. But when she closed her eyes and sang, she was transformed. Her voice was absolutely gorgeous, and I’d never heard anyone quite like her. I told her that my brother (our lead guitar player) was starting a small record label and needed to hear her. I think she knew that and was trying to muster up the courage to play for him. We sat around on the sofas after the gig and Susan played a few of her songs. The rest you can read in her music bio.

Susan saw herself as an “artist” and not so much a songwriter in the sense that others would sing her songs. I know she was both, and believe time will prove me right. Actually, Susan was probably the only one who would disagree with me on this.

I’m honored to be among the musicians playing at Susan’s Memorial Celebration of Life this Tuesday, Aug. 3rd in Long Beach.

Top Ten Folk-Country

My song, Roundabout made Broadjam's Top 10 Folk-Country Chart on Friday, May 7th.
The chart can change everyday, but for this moment, on this day, #6 is pretty cool.

Thanks reviewers!

If you're a songwriter/artist and haven't checked out Broadjam yet, give it a shot. I joined last year at ASCAP's "I Create Music" and am very glad I did.

Sweet Alyssum News

Already looking forward to Sweet Alyssum's debut performance at Albert Music Hall in Waretown, NJ on August 21st. We'd like to thank Roy Everett for helping us out and opening up a spot for us. We'll be doing 2 shows that night, and enjoying all the other musicians, so come on down and hang out with us! Can't wait to play our songs, especially Albert's Cabin, and a few old time favs that we grew up singing with our Dad.

We're also looking to book one or two more shows, perhaps a house concert, ... << MORE >>

That was a Blast!

Had a blast playing with Rudy Jones and Lily McCabe at the bakery on Sunday afternoon. Thank you Players, Flour Fusion and all the old and new Friends who stopped by to hang out & catch some new tunes. It was great catching up with You!

If you missed the show, here’s a little about the players who joined me:

Rudy Jones from Carlsbad treated us to a set of his original songs and I had fun trying to keep up with him on a few. The crowd loved his "Bakersfield with an edgy blues" sound. The man can write, sing and play a mean guitar! I’m thrilled to have met him (thanks to John Quint) and can't wait to work with him again. Rudy is working on a new CD and website so check his links for the latest.

I’m so glad the extremely talented Lily McCabe joined us on fiddle. She’s a young performing musician with skills way beyond her years. She also teaches violin in the Temecula area. Lily’s new band with Wayne Cameron Swift Pony is debuting in southern California and headed for great things.

My friends Krista and Brandon Palacio got a warm welcome as they stepped in to perform a few of their new songs. The combination of Krista’s vocals and this pair’s style of writing is seriously knocking me out. They’ll be performing again at the bakery on March 26^th at the Friday Night Writers Showcase.

Before we packed up, we had one more treat from singer/songwriter Phillip Jaye. Although he’s new to the area, Phillip is already making a stir in the local music scene hosting Acoustic Café nights at Flour Fusion and volunteering at the non-profit Musicians Workshop in Temecula. We hope he’ll soon be performing his songs with us at an upcoming FNWs showcase!

I'm proud to promote these artists so hit them up if you want to find out where they're playing and what they're up to!
