FINAL POSTER

The Paul Weber Band is happy to announce the release of their new album Ghost Beer Train. Listen to songs from the album:



Brading Beer Train

Les rues d'Ottawa.





With Ghost Beer Train, Paul Weber and his band have come out with another great collection of tunes that tell stories with local themes but universal appeal. This album is brimming with energy and enthusiasm for their community. Through storytelling and music, Paul Weber continues to preserve Ottawa’s history - both Anglo and Franco - reflecting the Capital’s bilingual roots. Highly recommended!

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 and the harmonies of the McGarrigles. The band just released their second album titled, "Ghost Beer Train".
