Paul D McDowell is a creative solo artist with a dynamic one-man-band show. He creates live loops on-the-spot and uses tech to deliver a fresh mix of pop, classic rock, blues, and roots-rock. With touches of folk, old-school electronic, rock, reggae, funk, and classical, he blends guitar, drums, bass, keyboards, synth, harmonica, mic and live vocals to create a full-band sound that gets the crowd swaying. Paul’s vast repertoire of covers and originals magically makes every performance unforgettable, as he seamlessly recreates the energy of a complete band without any pre-recorded tracks.

 

With four solo albums and two solo EPs to his name, Paul has also toured with bands and worked with music legends such as Gordon Raphael (The Strokes), David Cross (King Crimson), Mike Perry, David Jackson (Van der Graaf Generator) and Steve Powell.  Even Sir Paul McCartney once praised and encouraged his songwriting.

 

Based in Perth, Western Australia, Paul dedicates his days to writing songs, recording and playing music. He occasionally shares behind the scenes photos and videos on his social media and has a passion for videography, sharing vids on his YouTube channel. He also offers personalised one-on-one guitar and music tuition and coaching. Alongside his music career, Paul enjoys hanging out with his dog Baxter, exercising, gaming, and nurturing his love for the arts.
