Performer: St. Paul & The Broken Bones
Type of music: Soulful notes blended with rock and gospel
About: They call Birmingham home. Sunday, July 15, St. Paul & The Broken Bones will perform before a packed home audience at SlossFest. On their second album, “Sea of Noise,” the theme of evolvement runs richly through each chord and musical instrument. “It felt like it happened organically,” said lead singer Paul Janeway of the band’s development. “With the last record, it was like doing things with your hair on fire – going in, recording it live.” The collection of new songs is the group’s first release on RECORDS, a joint venture of SONGS Publishing and veteran label executive Barry Weiss. It was produced by Paul Butler and recorded at Nashville’s Sound Emporium. “Sea of Noise” is a successor to the Broken Bones’ 2013 debut album “Half the City,” which introduced the group’s clever blend of ‘60s soul – filled with influences like Sly Stone, David Bowie and Prince.Discography: “Half the City” (2013), “Sea of Noise EP” (2016)
