With the seeming nonchalance of one who has nothing but time on his side, Paul Manousos has walked a quiet line for much of his career, one that some might say has left him a shadow figure on the current musical map, particularly on his home turf; the San Francisco Bay Area. But lack of hyperbole aside, Paul's musical talents are rich and well-tested. From coast to coast, here and abroad, in darkened dens and smoke-ringed dives, through gilded former movie palaces  and the slightly less ornate living rooms of friends and fans Paul has shown that above all, his voice is the main game.  That voice, with its power and nuance that easily keeps company with such greats as Otis Redding, Mick Jagger, Elvis Costello and Roy Orbison yet stands so firmly on its own merits — huge, expressive, and unmistakably Paul's own.

But don't make the mistake of thinking that it is only the voice. Paul is also an accomplished crafter of songs that consistently strike gold with his listeners. He makes certain when he lets it all go, he lets it go with something to say. His are songs that will touch your heart, soothe your soul, feed your head and feel totally great when you sing them to yourself in the shower.

In the interest of galvanizing a little more of his grassroots, Paul is currently working on the release of his latest album C'mon C'mon. This is a 10 song gem with loads of great production!
The album was recorded up in Seattle with plenty of wacky gadgetry. The first album Paul has co-produced with Steve Fisk!  Looking forward to many more.

Lots more in the works new videos, photos and blogging…Stay Tuned In!

C'mon, c'mon

 

In other news:

 

I have also been asked to be on a tribute album for the great songwriter "Moon Martin". I  was quite honored when being contacted by the producer Chas Ferry to record one of the 100 most played songs on the radio "Bad Case Of Loving You".
This song was originally made a hit by Robert Palmer in 1977. Tough act to follow. This will call for the steady hands of the East Bay Wrecking Crew! I will have to pull deep from the tone of the Vet's hall shows I played in my youth...

Moon Martin Tribute

 

If anyone is interested in putting on a house concert contact me and I will give you the rundown. There loads of fun!!!!
 

Thanks to my fans for all of your love and support!

Peace,

Paul
