Paul Sachs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paul Sachs was born and raised on the Lower East Side of New York City and that's where he draws most of his material. Sachs survived a tough life and lived to tell the tale through songs. Growing up he discovered such artists as Harry Chapin, Springsteen, and of course Bob Dylan, which pushed him into the folk music circles of the city. His songs soon caught the attention of area performers, and he was featured in Fast Folk Musical Magazine. One of his songs was eventually selected for inclusion in the Smithsonian Fast Folk collection. Sachs still lives on the Lower East Side, performing in various venues around the city. He has recorded two independent albums, both featuring often raw and searingly personal songs of life and love on the mean streets. His fingerstyle guitar work and powerful voice combine to create mesmerizing vignettes of the city that has been the backdrop of his life.
