Paul Appelkamp has a reputation for performing with strength and conviction on stage and on record. A dedicated artist who explores different instruments, uses a lot of energy, and treats his guitar like a drum when need be. Performing live since 2004, he's supported Josh Pyke, Custom Kings, and played festivals such as The Feel Good Fest '07 and Peat's Ridge Fest '08.
The New Self-Titled Paul Appelkamp ep is now available!! Tracks 'Live and Learn' & 'City Lights' cut straight to the heart, while 'Red Paint' was a funky experiment that exploded without warning, leaving a strange cloud of smoke to fill the room and make everyone involved feel abnormally light-headed... The cd will also be available digitally world-wide from mid April '09 (Foghorn/MGM).
Paul's sound has always been, and will always be real, which is why people continue to listen to his smooth blend of roots and contemporary styles.
"The production is solid, vocals hauntingly spot on and the lyrical and melodic content of the songs just genius...It’s a musical aphrodisiac!" - Pop Republic.tv review of Paul Appelkamp's Self-Titled EP, April 2009
