"...the performances are truly a spectacle. Janeway has the charisma of a televangelist with the moves of a modern Charlie Chaplin." - Paste

Nashville, TN - Explosive Birmingham, AL soul sextet St. Paul & The Broken Bones have announced tour dates in support of their upcoming full-length debut, Half The City (out February 18 via Single Lock/Thirty Tigers). Half The City has already garnered attention from NPR Music, Paste The Best Of What’s Next, Relix On The Verge and eMusic Next Big Things 2014.

Led by charismatic front man Paul Janeway, the group’s sweat-soaked, take-no- prisoners style has converted many, including Relix who said, “A St. Paul & The Broken Bones concert conjures the spirit of a Pentecostal church revival.” The band's high-energy live performances have garnered national critical attention, landing them opening spots with artists such as Jason Isbell, Bettye LaVette and Drive-By Truckers.

The tour will include shows in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Austin (SXSW) and upcoming debut festival performances, including Wakarusa (more to come).

Take a look at this Southern Living magazine Biscuits & Jam session performance of "Don't Mean A Thing" to experience the hybrid of Janeway’s dynamics with the catchy pop, funky grooves and southern rhythm and blues of The Broken Bones.

Half The City was produced by Ben Tanner of Alabama Shakes, who co-founded Single Lock Records with John Paul White (Civil Wars) and Will Trapp. The album’s 12 tracks were recorded live to tape in just three takes at the Nutthouse in Muscle Shoals, AL and mixed at the legendary FAME Studio A. Special guests include Al Gamble (piano/organ/wurlitzer), Daniel Stoddard (pedal steel) and Tanner (piano/organ/background vocals).

Half The City oozes with key elements of Memphis soul, Muscle Shoals R&B and the Motown experience, which lay solid ground for Janeway’s expressive vocals. Raised in a Pentecostal-leaning church in Alabama, Janeway studied to be a preacher until he was 18 years old. Little did he know that his years in front of congregations would evolve into a fully charged, electric stage persona.
