Just announced: Paul will be joining Frank Turner’s Lost Evening III concert series in Boston, MA on the first of four nights of shows (Thursday May 16th). The main stage for the evening will see sets from Frank Turner (solo), Louden Wainwright III, Jenny Owen Youngs, and Hayley Thompson-King. Paul will be performing a solo set on the Nick Alexander stage along with Micah Schnabel, Jinty McGrath, and Amanda Rose Riley.
The sold-out show at Club Cafe (Pittsburgh) in January was a hell of way to kick off the new year. Thanks to all who braved the weather! Next up, Paul is supporting Lucero with a solo set at Mr. Small’s Theater in Millvale, PA. Tickets here: https://bit.ly/2RWFaWd - and don’t wait, this one normally sells out too!
Here’s a piece that was nominated for a Mid-Atlantic Emmy Award. Filmed in Pittsburgh at Paul’s motorcycle workshop and The Church Recording Studio.
Paul recently visited 91.3 WYEP in Pittsburgh to record a Live & Direct Session, along with Nathan Zoob on guitar. Watch a performance of “Restless Mind” below…
In recent months, I've been on shows supporting Peter Case, Shawn Mullins, Levi Lowrey, Malcolm Holcombe, and a night in Buffalo with Flogging Molly. Been all around the U.S. and a few beautiful days in Canada. Thanks to everyone who has come out and supported. Hope to see you again soon. Here are some shots from the road. More memories and dates to come. - paul

“As he croons, Luc carries a distinct tinge of light gravel to his mostly crystalline vocals that give him that extra bit of a compelling edge as his tone dances him across first-person narratives of emotions that we’ve all felt at some point in our lives.
All in all, Luc is a consummate musician and an exceptional 21st century bard who knows his way around evoking complex emotions in song. ”
