Paul Cebar, that natty-hatted, guitar-wielding, tertiary color wearing singer man with the spectator shoes has had a long, illustrious career creating music that travels back and forward across eras, while also drawing on influences from around the globe.
Known for his work in the R&B Cadets, Paul Cebar & The Milwaukeeans, and Paul Cebar Tomorrow Sound, Cebar has entertained audiences with infectious, dance-happy, genre-hopping music that has earned a loyal following from the public as well as his peers. Joe Ely has described him as “an American original,” while Bonnie Raitt proclaimed: “I’ve been a fan of Paul’s for a long time.” Nick Lowe, meanwhile, hailed him as “the real thing: a proper soulful cat with the tunes, the chops and the voice to swing this epoch back to its senses.”
Cebar’s new solo album might be his most eclectic work to date. It draws upon his interests in New Orleans and reggae rhythms while also tapping into his life-long love for soul and R&B.

“Paul Cebar has been a musicians’ musician for as long as I’ve known him. Nothing wrong with that but how sweet it would be if at last the wider public could finally catch on to what the rest of us have known for all these years (in my case nearly thirty) that Cebar is the real thing: a proper soulful cat with the tunes, the chops and the voice to swing this epoch back to its senses.” - Nick Lowe
