old school songwriters, old and new friends...feelings that are formed down deep that transcend bullshit...tom waits, bob dylan, daniel johnston, the pogues, the pixies, the beatles, the beach boys, everything in nature + everything artificial, ...floorboards, drainpipes, ceiling noise, ghosts in a furniture attic all aghast...uncle tupelo, old-school country, americana, Great Britain, families, sunrises in the east, sunsets in the west.
More than a decade since his last major label release, PALEFACE, a founding member of NYC's Anti-folk movement, is back with The Show Is On The Road (Ramseur Records). The album is an intimate, 11-song diary that transcends genres with its ingenuous lyrics and deceptively unassuming style - just Paleface on guitar, harmonica & banjo, darling Monica "Mo" Samalot on drums and backing vocals and a few guest performances.... Paleface is the sort of artist who brings you into his world - his voice is sweetly ravaged and effortlessly expressive, as intimate as a friend whispering in your ear. The album is farewell love letter to his longtime home, New York City, and an embrace of his new life in the South and on the road with darlin "Mo".
PALEFACE released a brand new live video "Your Are The Girl". A studio version of the song is included on PALEFACE's 2009 Ramseur Records debut, The Show Is On The Road.
Have a great show! We happen to be back east at the moment working some doing some networking between Ashville, ATL, and Athens! It would be amazing to find the time to come check out a Live Show! If we get the chance we will make it that way... Thank you for keeping in-touch and sharing the love! -Best,

Nice stuff. Just listened to NY, NY. What is your zip code? This is some really nice song-writing. Quite original with a touch of Tom Waits. Thanks for the friend posting. Dan/TheWorkers
