PALEFACE

PALEFACE is a high-energy Indie-folk duo featuring Paleface “PF” himself and gf drummer Mo- PALEFACE recently celebrated the release of their Ramseur Records follow-up "One Big Party" with a special guest-performance alongside friends The Avett Brothers at NYC’s Radio City Music Hall, followed by Europe and US tours. Soon after the album's release, DAYTROTTER featured a brand new live stripped down recording session by Paleface, and one of the tracks was featured as "Daytorter's Best of the Year - Reader's Choice".
Paleface was schooled by friend Daniel Johnston and soon discovered by the legendary Danny Fields (The Stooges, The Ramones, MC5) at an NYC Antifolk open mic in 1990. He has since released over a dozen records including two major label releases. Paleface has toured Nationally with acts such as The Breeders and Billy Bragg, and has influenced and inspired a wide range of artists including Grammy Award recipients Beck, who described Paleface as “a big influence on my early work” on Annie Leibovitz’s book American Music. Paleface's songwriting, instrumentation and vocals have been featured on three of the latest albums by The Avett Brothers.

“You’ll be hard-pressed to find a more appropriately-titled record this year. One Big Party is one big sonic shit-eatin’ grin. Joyous, carefree and catchy as hell, this record is a perfect and cost-effective antidote to whatever ails ya” My Old Kentucky Blog
“everything about this One Big Party suggests one damn good time” BLURT
“Calling Paleface’s music “folk” feels a bit like calling a bar brawl “a disagreement.” PASTE Magazine
"Paleface is one of the Antifolk scene’s best-loved products" Time Out NY
“Paleface, a neo-folk icon” The Flagpole, Athens GA
“From the outset Paleface’s new album, One Big Party, makes no amends for the raucous, boot-stomping experience in store...These songs are catchy and upbeat, retaining Paleface’s lyrical openness and sly sense of irony. ” East Nashville Blog
