About
The Troubadour
Aden Paul is a punkabilly bootleg bar troubadour — over ten years of high-energy original roots rock 'n roll from New Orleans. Dark, finely-crafted songs delivered with a rich baritone and a band firing on eight cylinders.
Equally at home igniting raucous rooms with The Rotten Cores or holding a listening room pin-drop quiet as a solo or duo act — engaging the audience is the whole point.
"Aden Paul leaves audiences with face-splitting grins—stomping their feet, patting their thighs, and shouting along to songs that become more familiar with each visit." The Albany Herald
"(Aden's) mix of rockabilly, country and folk can hit you right where you live." Offbeat Magazine
