I play steel, guitar, trumpet, and some other things with a number of different bands & individuals in Portland and Austin, as well as touring with other regional & national acts. Some of the artists I have worked with are Richmond Fontaine, Fernando Viciconte, Alejandro Escovedo, Ian Moore, Victoria Williams, and the Sadies. When I'm home I also front my own band the Pu Pu Platters, playing mostly instrumental numbers ranging from Jazz to Country to Hawaiian to. . .whatever, we mix it all up & have fun. We often have guest instrumentalists and vocalists joining us. You can also see me in Austin sometimes playing with the Bearded Clam Diggers (email me if you want one of our CD's. . .)
I also write & arrange music for various ensembles and have provided arrangements on a number of recordings for The Eels, Michael Jodell, Fernando, Little Sue, and others. And I compose for "classical" ensembles - some of these compositions have recently been performed at the Brooklyn Music Society recitals in Portland (email me for details).

Ascend the stairs to enter the Mirror-Gate room of Frascheto.
Hi Paul, thanks very much. The sound of the steel is a good feel and reminds me of the night in Norderstedt in 2007 with Richmond Fontaine. It's about time for coming back. All best wishes, LB
Whats up! Just wanted to let you know that we are having an event on June 26th. For all my friends that would like to purchase tickets before hand, I can give you VIP enterance and a discount.
we're asking for $5 or whatever you want to donate.
only at Dante's this April 7th, 2009!
let's party and raise some money for one of Portland's old homegirls who's living in Istanbul, Turkey and who has recently undergone some serious medical crap and needs help! you can donate directly here: http://cyclecide.com/ratgirl/
she was experiencing pain and bleeding and was diagnosed with 2 tumors and a cyst and then her appendix got a perforation on it and she had to have emergency surgery for that on top of everything else. when the doctors cut her open they discovered that her entire reproductive system was infected, they literally found her to be full of PUS and had she waited one more day she probably would not have made it. fortunately, much thanks to her tough constitution and tenacious grip on life and the Turkish medical system, she's well on the mend. but she's still facing many overwhelming financial burdens and definitely needs our help!
please forward this to any mutual friends and hope to see ya there!
