St. Paul & The Broken Bones

St. Paul & The Broken Bones are a powerhouse soul ensemble from Alabama known for their electrifying live shows and impassioned vocals. Formed in Birmingham in 2011, the band features Paul Janeway (vocals), Jesse Phillips (bass), Browan Lollar (guitar), Kevin Leon (drums), Al Gamble (keyboards), Allen Branstetter (trumpet), Chad Fisher (trombone), and Amari Ansari (saxophone).

Their new self-titled sixth album marks a creative renewal—melding the band’s adventurous spirit with a return to soulful, song-focused roots. Recorded at the legendary FAME Studios and produced by Eg White (Adele, Celine Dion), the record blends psych-funk grooves, gospel-tinged ballads, and cinematic rock flourishes. Tracks like “Sushi and Coca-Cola” and “Going Back” reflect both personal introspection and the band’s deepened identity after a decade of evolution.

St. Paul & The Broken Bones have shared stages with The Rolling Stones, Lizzo, and Black Pumas, and performed at major festivals like Coachella, Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, and Bonnaroo. Even Sir Elton John took notice, inviting them to perform at his Oscar party. Blending rock & roll, soul, R&B, and more, the band continues to captivate audiences around the world.

Brother Wallace

The Soul like the South, Been Dirty for too long….

Brother Wallace tells tales of life, love and the human grind throughout these eclectic, electric tunes. The rasp of his vocal stylings contain the grit of the homeland, the mud of its rivers, the gold in its hills… The songs are painted with all the colors of the gospel, blues, rock, and rap, that find roots in the ground brother Wallace walks upon. The grooves are influenced by sweaty soul musicians of his kind, from the church to the juke joint, to the killing floor. The message is the same; there is joy in pain, the sun will shine after the rain, if you make it through the night, you will see the morning light. Handwritten lyrics connect us with our past while giving a global glimpse of what the future holds.

The south still speaks because, like the soul, it will always have something to say….

Brother Wallace will release his first single in November, with the album to follow in May.
