Based out of San Francisco, California The Anthony Paule Soul Orchestra, was founded in 2007, by guitarist/songwriter Anthony Paule. Inspired by authentic Soul and Blues recordings of the ‘60s and ‘70s, this dramatic horn driven extravagant act took shape. Known for having great, authentic singers, APSO invites newest member, the incomparable vocalist Willy Jordan into the organization. Having worked with Elvin Bishop’s Big Fun Trio (which garnered him two Grammy Award nominations), John Lee Hooker among others, Willy holds court from a throne previously occupied by Wee Willie Walker, Frank Bey, and Terrie Odabi. Jordan’s commanding vocals and unpretentious stage presence, give audiences an honest, fresh, heartfelt experience.

APSO NOMINATED FOR BAND OF THE YEAR

Congratualations to the Tedeschi Trucks Band on their win! This brings us to a total of 20 BMA nominations! With no wins, that makes for a perfect record of 20 for 20!
SECRET - In Rotation 8 Months on Sirius XM Bluesville!
SECRET, is about a man who realizes he’s sick of his lowly ways of lying, and cheating, and sneaking around, only to play second fiddle in a dead end dalliance with another man’s woman. No more back door man for this guy!
