Paul Loren
Vocals & Guitar

Nashville-based singer-songwriter Paul Loren has always been steeped in the classic American songbook.  With his earlier work channeling '60s R&B, Brill Building pop, and even big band-era crooning, Loren's voice, tailored sense of style, and twinkle-in-his-eye personality has won over fans and devotees from coast to coast.  Loren launched his solo career with a string of sold-out shows in New York City at Joe's Pub, a famed venue at The Public, with is 'One-Night Only band' in early 2014.  His first solo single, "All By Myself," released in 2015, was supported by radio stations including Lightning100 in Nashville, Sirius XM's The Pulse, WCOO/Charleston, and KPND/Spokane.

His six song debut EP was released in 2016, Paul Loren is...Available!, featuring swing-era covers of classics by Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen, the songwriting team behind Sinatra's 1950s run.  2017 saw the release of the single and video for his original song, "I Know A Place," inspired by Civil Rights-era anthems.  A slew of singles followed, including the '50s-inspired "(Gonna Take) A Little Time," accompanied by a whimsical video filmed at Brooklyn's The Royal Palms Shuffleboard Club and released on Parade.com.

During this time, Loren was personally selected by Jennifer Lopez to perform at her Birthday Gala in Las Vegas; appeared on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon; partnered with the Ryan Seacrest Foundation, performed at the legendary STAX Museum in Memphis, Tennessee; and recorded in the world-renowned Sun Studio.  He has opened for and supported touring artists including The Temptations, singer-songwriter Brendan James, American Idol winner Taylor Hicks, folk singer and guitarist David Bromberg, and British soul singer James Hunter.  Loren has also shared the stage with Paul Shaffer, Queen Latifah, Christie Brinkley, and food personality Giada De Laurentiis.
