About Paul Loren
Vocals

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Leading a new generation of soulful crooners, Paul Loren is a singer, songwriter, producer and consummate entertainer. A native New Yorker, Paul was raised on the rich legacy of soul, classic pop, and the Great American Songbook, and in those musical idioms he feels most at home. Taking elements from early R&B, Jazz and Brill Building pop, he crafts his music with an ear towards timelessness.

Paul completed his first headline tour in 2019, also having performed in the past as a support artist for The Temptations, Brendan James, American Idol Winner Taylor Hicks, and David Bromberg. Paul was selected by Jennifer Lopez to perform at her birthday gala in Las Vegas, and shared the stage with Paul Shaffer, Queen Latifah, and Christie Brinkley at Target’s launch event for New York Fashion Week. Paul has appeared on The Tonight Show and NBC’s Mysteries of Laura, and performed at the legendary STAX Museum in Memphis, where he recorded in the world-renowned Sun Studio.

His debut single, “All By Myself,” was supported by many radio stations, and his next single, “I Know A Place,” received rave reviews and 200K views in its first week. All proceeds from Paul’s 2020 single, “We’ll Be Together Again,” have been sent to a COVID-19 relief charity.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_column_text]

About Rick Brantley
Vocals

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Hailing from Macon, Georgia and raised in the deep Southern roots of Blues, classic Rock ‘n Roll, and the hymns of his father’s Southern Baptist church, Rick Brantley naturally gravitated toward a life making music. Brantley moved to Nashville, where he established himself as one of the most in-demand young writers on Music Row, with cuts ranging from Meat Loaf to David Nail. An artist and dynamic performer as well as a songwriter, Brantley secured a well-earned reputation as a consummate “road dog”, touring virtually nonstop all over the world for much of his 20s and into his 30s, opening for everyone from John Hiatt to Kiefer Sutherland to Zac Brown and Brandy Clark, as well as headlining his own shows from Ontario to Hamburg and back. Now some fifteen years into his career, Brantley has added to his portfolio, producing acclaimed records with artists like Rob Baird and Justin Halpin, directing music videos, and writing a novel.
