WHO: ST. PAUL & THE BROKEN BONES WHAT: POUGHKEEPSIE PERFORMANCE WHEN: JULY 21 8pm WHERE: THE BARDAVON OPERA HOUSE Tickets: $25 Electrifying rock & soul octet St. Paul & The Broken Bones will perform at The Bardavon Opera House on July 21 in support of their highly-anticipated sophomore release Sea Of Noise, which is out on September 9 via RECORDS. The new album features the heart pounding infusion of old school R&B, soul, funk and rock that St. Paul & The Broken Bones have built their reputation on. Sea Of Noise documents a band going through an artistic evolution, elevating their sound to new heights. Many of the songs are tied together by a common theme that serves as an overall commentary on society. Refusing to settle for the status quo, dynamic lead singer/songwriter Paul Janeway and his bandmates challenged themselves throughout the creative process to create an album that is inspiring, heartfelt and fun; as well as intelligent, thoughtful and socially conscious. The music displays new tones and sonic exploration that can be immediately heard in the opening track “Crumbling Light Posts, Pt. 1”, which serves as a three-part recurring premise throughout. The rousing “All I Ever Wonder” challenges apathetic nature, the soulful “I’ll Be Your Woman” redefines gender roles, while “Waves” looks at our societal short attention span, and the firey “Burning Rome” conveys the realization that faith should reside within and not within a manmade framework. St. Paul & The Broken Bones have successfully made a soul record with a conscience. Watch the Sea Of Noise trailer at https://youtu.be/OkuXq-WOHJw.
Sea Of Noise is the follow up to the band's 2013 debut LP Half The City, which received critical acclaim ranging from USA Today to Esquire to Paste, and went on to sell over 115,000 copies. Their explosive, must-see live performances prompted NPR Music to refer to St. Paul & The Broken Bones as “one of the nations best live bands”, while the Rolling Stones hand picked them to open two stadium shows. The group made their TV debut on CBS Saturday Morning and performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Late Show with David Lettermanand The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Paul Janeway was featured with special musical guests on the debut episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The band has wowed audiences at major U.S. festivals, including Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Coachella, Outside Lands, Shaky Knees and Hangout, with many more scheduled for this year.
