PALEFACE was schooled by friend Daniel Johnston and soon discovered by the legendary Danny Fields at an New York City Antifolk open mic. He has since released over a dozen records including two major label releases. Paleface has influenced and inspired a wide range of artists including Grammy Award recipients Kimya Dawson and Beck who called Paleface “a big influence on my early work” in Annie Leibovitz's book "American Music.” Paleface's vocals, instrumentation and songrwriting have appeared on three albums by The Avett Brothers. This past Fall, PALEFACE and girlfriend drummer Monica "Mo" Samalot released their new album One Big Party (Ramseur Records), followed by US and Europe tours. Later in the Spring PASTE Magazine premiered a short documentary on Paleface, "Paleface: The Making Of One Big Party", which features an interview with Scott Avett (The Avett Brothers) in which he recounts being “blown away” the first time he met Paleface: “He was barking and singing and just throwing passion out. We were just immediately inspired and ignited by the fire he was throwing.”  For more info: http://PalefaceOnline.com
