Paul Sachs - Singer/Songwriter voice/guitar
Paul Sachs writes urban acoustic/folk songs in the tradition of Springsteen and Harry Chapin. He was born and raised in New York City and that's where he draws most of his material. Bob Dylan, Tom Waits and Springsteen are the songwriters that influenced him, and pushed him into the folk music circles of the city. He was featured in Fast Folk Musical Magazine. One of his songs was eventually selected for inclusion in the Smithsonian Fast Folk collection. Sachs still lives in NYC, performing in various venues around the city. He has recorded two independent albums, both featuring often raw and seeringly personal songs of life and love on the mean streets. His fingerstyle guitar work and powerful voice combine to create mesmerizing vignettes of the city that has been the backdrop of his life. Sachs received Honorable Mention for one of the top songs in Billboard Magazine's 14th Annual World Songwriting Contest for his song, "68 Skylark". His new CD,The Refuge, was just released this summer '09.
