Paul Tiernan: the man who recently had a song (how to say goodbye) in Hollywood teen cult movie ‘Nick and Norah’s Infinite playlist’, who once played with the legendary Donovan, who has 5 solo albums released, who has played his trusty mandola with Nick Harper, Boo Hewerdine, Robyn Hitchcock and Glen Hansard to name but a few.
Before we forget, also a member of cult Irish band ‘Interference’ who’s song of beauty and wonder ‘gold’ featured in Oscar winning Irish film ‘Once’.
Discovered sometime back in the last century by Paul McGuiness, U2s manager and now living in southwest France. Writes bittersweet love songs and leads the ‘sad folk’ movement. Has produced/engineered and designed the artwork for all 5 solo cds.
Rock ‘N Folk (one of France’s major music papers) recently said “he is without doubt one of the best European singer/songwriters, a great guitarist as well, equipped with a magic voice, a perfect mixture of silk and grit. The first song, ‘Breakfast in bed’ is a gem, a dream impregnated with bittersweet nostalgia that never leaves us after hearing it.”
CD Baby have hailed Paul as “a true songsmith in the tradition of Leonard Cohen, Nick Drake and Paul Simon” while also intoning of the album “Earthquakes is as fine an album as you’ll hear this or any other year”.
Here’s another quote from CD Baby (the world’s biggest online distributor of independent cd’s) : ‘Belle is, without a doubt, one of the most memorable male folk albums to come through our doors in years.’
