NEW ORIGINAL MID-CENTURY SOUL MUSIC
Based out of the San Francisco Bay Area, California The Anthony Paule Soul Orchestra, was founded in 2007, by guitarist/songwriter Anthony Paule. Inspired by authentic Soul and Blues recordings of the ‘60s and ‘70s, this dramatic horn driven extravagant act took shape. Known for having great, authentic singers, APSO invites newest member, the incomparable vocalist Willy Jordan into the organization. Having worked with Elvin Bishop’s Big Fun Trio (which garnered him two Grammy Award nominations), John Lee Hooker among others, Willy holds court from a throne previously occupied by Wee Willie Walker, Frank Bey, and Terrie Odabi. Jordan’s commanding vocals and unpretentious stage presence, give audiences an honest, fresh, heartfelt experience.

NOTE: We play about 90% original music, and can easily perform a show of 100% original songs. Our most recent album is comprised of entirely original music.

A couple of cool pieces of news for the APSO:
• We’ll be releasing a new album on the NOLA BLUE label on July 24! We’re currently writing material for a March recording session.
• Our latest single “Secret" is in steady rotation on the SiruisXM Bluesville channel.
• Not exactly APSO news, but an album Anthony Paule recorded with Van Morrison in 2022 is set for release January 23rd! Anthony will be touring with Van Morrison February and March.
