PALEFACE is an American musician and artist currently on tour as
high-energy indie-folk three piece band, in support of his Ramseur
Records follow up One Big Party. Paleface celebrated the release with
a special guest-performance alongside The Avett Brothers at NYC's
Radio City Music Hall, followed by US and Europe tours. Soon after the
album's release, Daytrotter.com featured a brand new live stripped
down recording session by Paleface, and one of the tracks was voted
"Daytrotter's Best of the Year - Reader's Choice". And later PASTE
Magazine premiered "PALEFACE - The Making of 'One Big Party'", a
short documentary which follows Paleface during the process of
recording, touring and performing, and features interviews with
Paleface, his darling drummer Mo, and friend Scott Avett of The Avett
Brothers.
Paleface was schooled musically by friend Daniel Johnston and soon
discovered by the legendary Danny Fields (The Stooges, The Ramones,
MC5) at an NYC open mic. He has since released over a dozen records
including two major label releases, and he's collaborated and
performed on three albums by The Avett Brothers. Paleface has
influenced and inspired a wide range of musical acts, from
electropopsters YACHT, to Grammy Award recipients Kimya Dawson (The
Moldy Peaches / Juno), and Beck who calls Paleface "a big influence on
my early work" on Annie Leibovitz's book American Music. At the
moment, Paleface is in the process of writing a new album to record
later in the year, and in the meantime he's just self-released
Multibean Bootleg Vol.3, a collection of raw demos, live performances
and outtakes.
"You'll be hard-pressed to find a more appropriately-titled record
this year. One Big Party is one big sonic shit-eatin' grin. Joyous,
carefree and catchy as hell, this record is a perfect and
cost-effective antidote to whatever ails ya" My Old Kentucky Blog

"Calling Paleface's music "folk" feels a bit like calling a bar brawl
"a disagreement." Technically it might be correct, but the word feels
inadequate." PASTE
"Whenever I hear the inspired music of Paleface, I am transported to a
magical and happy place. Nothing else matters. Except the exceptional
music that Paleface is accustomed to making. It has that early
Dylanesque folk rawness to it so when it comes to Paleface’s eclectic
style of folk and indie pop stylings, I just sit back, unwind, and
crank up the stereo. Totally adore this band!" Loudvine.com
"From the outset Paleface's new album, One Big Party, makes no amends
for the raucous, boot-stomping experience in store...These songs are
catchy and upbeat, retaining Paleface's lyrical openness and sly sense
of irony. " East Nashville Blog
"Playing folk music in its simplest form, the pair shined a rare beam
of sincerity in a music world bogged down by false glitz and
glamour...We should all feel so privileged to be able to get up so
close and personal to a musician who can turn the air in the room blue
by simply opening his mouth. His words are gorgeous and bloody with
heartache, and the effortless way in which he holds a roomful of folks
captivated is a beautiful thing." Show Review by Ink19
"Paleface composes folk music in earnest, with a bluesy vocal delivery
that portrays a feeling of something genuine and well-intentioned"
