  • Bio

    "Paula Boggs' unique voice, sharp and witty writing, and knack for producing slick melodies and jazzy-bluesy rock music is enlightening. Her music is folksy at times, pop-like at others, and balanced out by some charming mid-tempo stuff that is refreshing. On A Buddha State Of Mind, there's a little bit of everything to choose from. Playing acoustic guitar, her material is part Janis Ian and part Carole King, with a wee bit of Tracy Chapman thrown in on the vocal end of things, but her authentic voice makes her work sound genuine, modern, and reflective." - Mike DeGagne, Music Critic, AllMusic. Boggs, a "recovered" Fortune 500 executive, produced her debut CD, "A Buddha State of Mind," in 2010 and Hard Rock Cafe, Jazzbones, The Triple Door Mainstage and Portland's Mississippi Studios are among the venues where her band has performed in the Pacific Northwest. Beyond home, Paula Boggs Band has played Philly's World Cafe Live! and The Duplex in West Village, NYC. Boggs appears on the compilation CD, "Bringing Clean Water to the World," (2010) benefiting the 501©(3) Clean Water Foundation and on "Songwriters in Seattle 2012 Compilation CD." As one internet fan put it, "an enigmatic, original voice with great feeling, this artist's best work is ahead of her. I hope she can find a place in an empty soulless music industry of today. A female Leonard Cohen? I think so and I mean that as a compliment."

  • Influences

    I'm inspired by brilliance, irony, comedy and/or pathos. I love the unpredictable and there's no substitute for a voice that uniquely pierces deep. Among those I admire are Mumford & Sons, Led Zeppelin, Alanis Morissette, Kate Bush, Bill Withers, Curtis Mayfield, Neil Young, Jefferson Airplane, Leonard Cohen, R.E.M. and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
