10/21/14 - St. Paul & The Broken Bones nearly blew the roof off Boston’s legendary Paradise Rock Club - and on a Tuesday night, no less. The soulful Birmingham Alabama rock band left the sold-out crowd in a state of delirium that lasted long after the unforgettable 90 min set. This is the full set from Boston (minus covers) - see link below to watch their cover of David Bowie’s “Moonage Daydream”.
Lead Vocalist, Paul Janeway, sat down with Front Row Boston before the show to talk about everything from almost becoming an accounting to his Mom throwing away his Nirvana CD.
St. Paul & The Broken Bones debut album, Half The City, was released in 2014.

[@Jejmv1957]

Best performance by a bank teller ever

[@WGBHMusic]

+James Joyce Haha. Great comment

[@MikeSealey_nhhc]

Look up The Spaghetti Western Orchestra. They also have a bank teller.

[@markrigsby2107]

ya tink

[@R4Y2k]

If my bank dude could sing like this i'll visit way more often :D Really great band and what a voice. I wish they'd play music like this in discos nowadays. Another thing I'd visit more often then^^

[@thecoolerTK421]

Well, he did go to accounting school, so you are not far off

[@Brooks1946]

If that does not move you then you are either dead or you have no soul! Outstanding

[@WGBHMusic]

Ha! Well said!

[@aaronfurby1]

Imagine if St.Paul & Brittany Howard from Alabama Shakes did a duet together... That may bring about world peace. This concert slaps my soul!!!!

[@WGBHMusic]

Aaron Furby Would LOVE to see St. Paul & BB on stage with Alabama Shakes! That would slap our soul, too :)

[@aaronfurby1]

Indeed

[@colindougherty8946]

Aaron Furby fun fact: Ben Tanner of the Alabama Shakes actually produced St. Paul and the Broken Bones first album so it's not crazy to think that could happen.

[@aaronfurby1]

When Heaven Smiles Upon Us

[@francescom49numfunk82]

Vonda Shepard Come on !!!

[@markwright5658]

one of the tightest bands on the planet. ive been a huge fan for years and had the show in my area canceled due to covid in 2020 . just got to see them last night. absolutely blew the roof off the place. what an super special group! well done 👏

[@freetickeys]

When my friends walk into my living room and see Paul Janeway on the big screen spilling his heart out in song they routinely say, "Wow, he doesn't look like he sounds." It's the same thing the Swampers heard when legendary rock and soul acts made their way to record in Muscle Shoals forty something years ago.

[@pete7477]

Heard them on the radio a few years ago. When I saw them on Letterman...my jaw dropped.

[@WilkenVilaca]

One of the best bands I’ve ever seen in my life What a feeling, what a performance

[@walkerpichea820]

I went to college in Birmingham, AL and I was able to see them when they performed a free concert in town. It was one of the most impressive shows I’ve been to, up there with My Morning Jacket, Leon Bridges, and City and Color when he put out If I Should Go Before You. If I could see them with two other bands it would be Alabama Shakes and The Revivalists.

[@harryboon6949]

best soul band from the USA in years .keeping this music alive.brilliant.

[@MrAnhedonic]

What a genuine, charming man. Outstanding performance - stellar vocals and a super tight band.

[@stephenowesney5173]

His voice gives me goose bumps from head to toe!!

[@mg.hughes4737]

One of my favorite bands. Truly, a gem

[@michaelbutler2938]

My dream show...St Paul &the BB along with Alabama Shakes. Bucket list!

[@anthonypayne2526]

As I once heard at a concert one time...."Got dayum! Dat boy can SANG!"

[@sonwil705]

+Anthony Payne i was thinkin the same thing too.

[@somedude2630]

Stomping my feet and lighting a match!

[@ejnolan9843]

How did it take me so long to discover my new favorite Band? I ran into them in the Memphis airport on their Way to London and took a listen. Whoever thought you could combine Al Green, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett and Drew Carey? Paul Janeway has said that he relates to Bruce Wayne. But he is definitely more Real than BATMAN!

[@ivycoven3857]

I love this band. Drove from Ohio to Asheville TN to see them at a street fare. Told the trombone player that the band was gonna be a huge hit, and ya'll are. Much love St. Paul and the Broken Bones. Bigger than The Blues Brothers. And twice as raw...

[@kalvindosanjh8608]

Soul food for the ears, full of goodness!

[@SoulGr0ove]

Paul was on fire on this one! Amazing..

[@artist4rags]

just found this bad from NPR~! I AM IN LOVE!!!!!!!!

[@iingii]

the drummer is just living his best life and not caring about who knows it

[@kando6746]

Love this band! This performance is one of my favorites ❤ 😍

[@ldrobarts]

Great music! Discovered these guys through D Letterman awhile back, did their Call Me song. Totally fell in-love with their sound and style. That voice! The guitar and horns are just as amazing!

[@joebigblue56]

Blue eyed soul and blues......from the heart.

[@joshg2009]

Listen first, rather than watching, and imagine what the singer looks like.... then be utterly and pleasantly surprised!

[@CapeBass508]

Josh Gregory Why does it matter? just enjoy it.

[@edgarguardarrama3659]

So glad mom thew away that Nirvana album.. Best singer in a very very long time... Love this band

[@Soudafloresta]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!! NO WORD IS ABLE TO DEFINE WHAT I AM FEELING NOW. JUST THANK YOU. The most interesting thing about living is to see that even with so much cruelty and pain in the world, the human being is also capable of doing beautiful things like that. You touched me deeply, and thank you for tearing me from the inside out with that energy, I felt free. thank you.

[@telecasterbear]

Dreams don't die. They may get put up on a shelf. It is up to you to remember they are waiting for you. Don't be afraid to take them off of the shelf if you have the opportunity.

[@danielstefanese1936]

I can't stop listen to this

[@francinemillot5718]

merci pour le partage

[@highjenks3d]

JJ grey and mofro time to pass this torch on to these guys

[@lazaroujohn7416]

great band.John from Athens -Greece.

[@R4Y2k]

So Broken Bones & Pocket Change was the first song they ever wrote? Chapeau guys, chapeau! Couldn't be any better than this... exept the "NPR Tiny Desk"-show they did. The version there is truly outstanding.

[@pennihall415]

Oh my.......my EARS were made for YOU!!!!! Love you with chills....

[@lizielue3411]

He's so cute - the way he moves - he's chubby cute and so good and soulful in his performance- I really dig him!

[@amandafeliciano542]

Lizie Lue I never get tired of watching Paul lol

[@mizdandilion]

Saw them at Zanken Hall in NYC. Blew my socks off - these guys sold their souls to sound as good as they do!

[@ibrahimabah6261]

paul janeway best voice on the world

[@joymatisse3628]

Just discovered this band they are amazing!

[@pedroferraz7433]

Muito Bom ! Faz tempo que não vejo banda tão boa!!!!!

[@frettfrenzzey]

This boy has SOUL running through his veins!

[@sonwil705]

+Carole Tallerino he got it from his mama lol

[@ronramseyjr.5592]

Sometimes I worry about "real" music dying. I'm not worried anymore. Keep preaching kid! I got your AMEN!

[@prithvijitdutta]

What a mover!!! ..... so much soul! Brilliant!!!

[@hartyewh1]

The band is really impressive. At times the singer, especially one like this, takes all the attention and the band can be whatever, but damn they do good work here. Very nuanced, never imposing and always vital.

[@mpume5387]

My goodness! This guy is a great singer yho!

[@gdgroupie]

I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing/hearing these fellows at LOCKN' this coming weekend!! Not familiar with them, so looked here and WOW - they are wonderful!

[@SuperMT2000]

What a voice!

[@RadicalUnionist]

Goddamn that is damn fine music. Thanks so much for posting this!

[@user-fu2jr1pg9x]

Gawww never ceases to impress and amaze!! What style and soul. Having grown up pentecostal I'm the deep south I feel it!!! I do believe they feeling it too and it shows

[@amillmeister]

[@IAmKillEveryone]

Oh my god a crowd without all of their phones out, what year am I in?

[@joshgregory12]

Excited to see them in Nashville this week!

[@mrJimCharles]

The guy says when he heard those soul singers he thought that was what he was supposed to be doing - I felt the same way when I heard them myself

[@vw4fun]

Found me a band! Good Gaawd!

[@ckstovall1]

New fan... awesome to my ear buds.... damn fine.

[@marcobuijsman9060]

Saw these guys in a dutch music progr. on tv, what a soul..... (--_-) Amazing!

[@WGBHMusic]

They sure do put on a hell of a show. Thanks for the comment, Carlos.

[@sportsandfamilies]

The guitar at 13:20 is channeling Duane Allman in his Muscle Shoals days. One the best bands and tightest performances that I've heard in a long time. Having grown up in Macon, GA in the 60"s & & 70's, I've seen some classics. This is as close as it comes. Some bad ass Bama boys. Thank God that there's still some real music being made.

[@jashquickpit2258]

I'm sold. Take my money.

[@NavyNate123]

I'm so pumped to see you guys! We're headed to Baton Rouge for a night and then seeing you cats in Houston then next night, such a huge fan man! Paul you make my sould warm, every member of your group is amazing.

[@sevi39]

Looking forward to monday... Finally they're in Switzerland. I'm sure it'll be a hell of an evening :)
