Anthony Paule

A blues guitarist specializing in all manner of classic sounds -- everything from jazzy soul to jumping juke-joint grooves -- Anthony Paule has released a handful of solo records, but is just as well known for his supporting work for Boz Scaggs and Charlie Musselwhite, along with his collaborations with singers Frank Bey and Wee Willie Walker. Based in the Bay Area, Paule released his debut album, Big Guitar, in 1995. He followed it in 2001 with Hiding in Plain Sight. In 2013 he teamed up with Frank Bey for the live album You Don't Know Nothing, which they followed that same year with the studio session Soul for Your Blues. In 2015 they released Not Goin' Away, a collection that largely relied on originals. Paule formed the Anthony Paule Soul Orchestra as his backing band for Wee Willie Walker in 2017. The group released After a While that year.
