Oakland: KID BEYOND and the HOLY WOLVES

Kid Beyond - Piedmont Piano show.jpg

Come get the heat!!!

Me and my new band, the Holy Wolves, have been cooking up some future blues: heavy, fiery, soulful indie rock propelled by future-bass electronics.

It's shamanic, visceral music for turbulent times — like Howlin' Wolf jamming with Radio‌head, Zeppe‌lin, Jam‌es Bla‌ke, and Ra‌ge Agai‌nst the Mac‌hine. (Want a listen? Peep Ceasefire.)

And now's your chance to see it live, in Oakland!

You'll get a long, meaty set of new original music... some soul and electro classics reimagined... a few choice cuts of my vocal/beatbox live-looping... and an opening set of acoustic soul from Grammy-nominated diva Tossie Long.

The venue only seats 100 people — so buy your tickets now!

Come see me and my new band rock some iconic soul at SFJAZZ!

It's a tribute to the sound of Muscle Shoals — the legendary Alabama studio that fused R&B, Soul, and Rock&Roll.

4 killer bands doing bold versions of Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Wilson Pickett, Staple Singers, Rolling Stones, Black Keys, Paul Simon, Dusty Springfield, Percy Sledge, and many more.

My new band, you say? Yup — it's heavy, blues-soaked electro-rock. Like Howlin' Wolf meets James Blake and Rage Against the Machine. Check our video CEASEFIRE for an appetizer.

Join us for an electric, unforgettable evening! Get your tickets before this sells out!

Intro to Insight Meditation

  • Spirit Rock Meditation Center, Woodacre CA (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Join me this Saturday for an introduction to meditation, in the Insight tradition of Buddhism.

Senior teacher Sally Armstrong is leading this daylong workshop. Sally is a wonderful teacher — warm, wise, intelligent, engaging, with a deep practice and a deep love of service.

I'll be assisting — holding 1-on-1 meetings with attendees all day. If you want some guidance on your practice or your path, or if you're new to meditation or mindfulness ... come join!

I'll have slots for about 16 students.

nd if you've never been to Spirit Rock, this is a beautiful opportunity. The hills, the sunlight, the fragrance of nature, the wild turkeys... it's a really special place to practice.

Price: Pay what you can!

Brooklyn NY: House Concert

  • Brooklyn NY: House Concert (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

I'm doing a solo house concert in Brooklyn.

Just me and my looping gear.

And you. And 30 other people.

In a living room, in an apartment in Boerum Hill.

I'll be playing all the hits; some unreleased songs from my past few years of musical seclusion; and some new new stuff hot off the griddle.

This show will sell out fast. That living room only fits about 30 people!

So here's what you do:

1. Reserve your seats at Paul's website.

2. Paul will send you the address + details.

3. Show up. Pay when you get there.

4. Enjoy Kid B up close and personal.

That's it.

Don't bother emailing Paul (or me! I'm on a meditation retreat until Oct 1). Just sign up at the website. For more info, see Paul's FAQ.
