Description
Seattle “Soulgrass” comba Paula Boggs Band has worked with Grammy-winning producer Tucker Martine twice — 2020’s single “America 2020,” 2022’s 4th studio album, “Janus,” featuring Carolina Chocolate Drops co-founder Dom Flemons, and is again partnering with Martine to record album #5 this year.
Paula Boggs Band refines their signature blend of jazz, world, rock and Americana. Boggs and her team of deft musicians unfurl their tales of love and its various guises with a relaxed, in-the-pocket groove that only comes from a group of players moving as a whole.
Prior to forming the Paula Boggs Band, Boggs served eight years as a Regular Officer in the United States Army, earned Army Airborne wings and a Congressional appointment to the US Naval Academy – among America’s first women to do so. Her career has included a five-year stint as a federal prosecutor, working as a vice president at Dell and serving as Starbucks’ top lawyer. In 2013, President Obama appointed her to the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, and in 2018 she received the Seattle Mayor’s Arts Award.
The sextet - Boggs, Mark Chinen on guitar and banjo, Marina Christopher on bass and vocals, Tor Dietrichson on percussion and vocals, Paul Matthew Moore on piano, accordion and vocals, Jacob Evans on drums, and frequent guest multi-instrumentalist Darren Loucas – released their debut album A Buddha State of Mind in 2010. That record was followed in 2015 with Carnival of Miracles, produced by Grammy-winning Trina Shoemaker.
In 2017 the band released an "unplugged" EP of consciousness songs, Live at Empty Sea, Songs of Protest & Hope and a third studio album, Elixir - The Soulgrass Sessions, also produced by Shoemaker.
“Mistletoe & Shiny Guitars,” the band’s first original holiday song was recorded at Bear Creek Studios, produced by Ryan Hadlock (The Lumineers, Vance Joy, Brandi Carlile) and released in 2018. The band has performed over 200 shows across North America.
