Paul Sanchez Biography
New Orleans Master Musician and Storyteller Paul Sanchez Releases 12th Album:
Native New Orleanian Paul Sanchez, musician, songwriter, singer, producer, writer, and actor announces the release of his 12th solo album, Everything That Ends Begins Again.
Paul Sanchez’s award-winning music defies categories – melding rock, country, folk, blues and jazz into an inimitable sound that expands the mind, opens the soul, and leaves listeners wanting more.
Fans may know native New Orleanian Paul Sanchez as a founding member of the rock band Cowboy Mouth, with whom he has 11 albums; for his role in the HBO series TREME where he played himself; or as the creative force behind the musical NINE LIVES, a musical adaptation of the New York Times best-selling novel. NINE LIVES follows the lives of nine people in New Orleans from 1965 (the year Hurricane Betsy ravaged the city) through 2005 (the year of Hurricane Katrina) and beyond.
Paul Sanchez transforms audiences with his unique blend of music and storytelling – at once powerful, sad, humorous, entertaining, and hopeful. Like many New Orleanians, Paul was tremendously impacted by Hurricane Katrina, having lost his home. “I lost my home, my possessions, community and, eventually, my job after the flood. I was changed, am changed as a person and it couldn't help but change my music", confesses Paul, who like many struggled to find a new identity after Hurricane Katrina.
After much soul-searching, he left Cowboy Mouth to go solo.
Everything That Ends Begins Again is Paul Sanchez’s first solo CD since the release of the Nine Lives sound track in 2011.
Paul left music for 18 months to be with his wife at a difficult time as she faced a challenge. This CD is a return to music, joy and living. “The stories of what I lost and found are many and are a part of my life for the rest of my life and I accept that now,” adds Paul.
About Paul Sanchez
Paul Sanchez began writing songs and playing his first professional shows in the French Quarter before he turned sixteen.
By the 1980’s, Paul was an established part of the New Orleans rock scene, playing in The Backbeats along with Vance DeGeneres, another native New Orleanian.
He lived in New York City in the late 80's and was part of the now legendary Anti-Folk scene in the East Village.
In January of 2010 Off Beat Magazine awarded Paul three Best of The Beat Awards: Songwriter of The Year, Best Song of The Year, Best Folk/Rock Album for Stew Called New Orleans, his duet record with friend and collaborator John Boutte. In April of that same year Gambit Weekly awarded him Best Roots Rock Performer at The Big Easy Awards.
Primarily a songwriter Sanchez has written songs for Darius Rucker of Hootie and The Blowfish, had a song in the country charts which was recorded by The Eli Young Band, and a song covered by Irma Thomas, the Soul Queen of New Orleans. Paul resides in the Treme neighborhood with his wife Shelley, where he sings and breathes everything New Orleans.
