Bio
Band
The Paul Weber Band is an Ottawa-based, five-person, bilingual band that performs high-energy folk tunes in English and French. Their shows are a voyage into community stories-- tales about drag queens, homelessness, working class tragedies, ghost trains and the struggles of the Francophone community. The song writing combines the emotional rawness of Bruce Springsteen with the locally-themed songs of Stompin’ Tom. The band just released their second album titled, "Ghost Beer Train".
