Inject a little soul into your life! Originating from the other Steel city in the south, Birmingham, AL, the soul sensation, St. Paul and The Broken Bones, has undeniably carved a fervent following in their genre. Fronted by the seemingly anointed and powerhouse vocals of Paul Janeway.
Venturing into shows that defy our usual coverage, I find it exhilarating to unveil the hidden musical gems beneath the surface in many cities. On this crisp night, post-rain, St. Paul storms in, delivering a mesmerizing show. The venue pulsates with a diverse crowd of all ages as the band, armed with a stellar lineup of Trumpet, Saxophone, Trombone, and Keyboards, kicks off a riotous Friday night performance.
The first, striking realization is Janeway’s astonishing vocal range—a well-known gem to long-time fans, yet still jaw-dropping as he consistently reaches the heights of their biggest hits.
These guys hit the stage in full swing, boasting a glorious rhythm section. Trumpet, Sax, and Trombone weave seamlessly into the live experience, while Browan Lollar’s guitar prowess demands attention.
The night kicks off with “Flow With It,” seamlessly drifting into the funky vibes of “Call Me,” where Janeway’s soulful range transports you. Naturally, the classic “Gotitbad” ignites the crowd with soul and rhythm, showcasing one of their live masterpieces. Witness the intensity on Paul’s face, a raw display of emotions during his performance.
Followed by the recent crowd-pleaser, “Last Dance,” this boogie-infused anthem ensures everyone’s on their feet.
Intriguingly, before diving into the music scene, Paul was on track to become a preacher. No worries, sir; you’re still singing praises—now, just living and genuinely rocking crowds daily with soul and an expansive range that unites the masses.
The band effortlessly clicks on stage, creating a night of pure excitement. St. Paul and The Broken Bones are a must-see live experience. How can anyone leave such a show without a beaming smile? Every single person in attendance, including yours truly, had an absolute blast.
