Band to Watch: Paul Michel

Hailing from our nation’s capitol, singer/songwriter (or as his MySpace page says “songer singwriter”) Paul Michel has been in several bands over the years and is currently bassist for the DC power pop outfit Georgie James. However, since 2004 he has been recording and touring extensively as a solo project. Paul’s voice is a soaring tenor wail (something akin to Jeff Buckley, Thom Yorke, or Cold War Kids’ Nathan Willett) and his music is best described as a blend of folk, prog, indie, and brit pop. “The Backup Plan,” from Paul’s most recent album, Quiet State of Panic, is an excellent showcase of his sincere falsetto set against electronic backbeats.
