PAUL THOMAS AND MWB
MID CENTURY AMERICAN MUSIC​
NOT YOUR AVERAGE BAND AND NOT TRYING TO BE.....


WHEN IS THE LAST       TIME..... 

ANYBODY CAN COPY

EVERYBODY SOUNDS      LIKE.......  

A RECORD. ANY COMPETENT PLAYER CAN DO THAT.
BUT-    
IF THATS ALL YOU WANT, YOU PROBABLY OWN A RADIO, MP3 PLAYER, IPOD, HELL, EVEN A RECORD PLAYER!
YOU SAW OR HEARD A BAND THAT PERFORMED THE SONGS YOU WISH BANDS STILL PLAYED? 
ON ANY GIVEN NIGHT YOU COULD GO HEAR SOMEONE ATTEMPT TO EMULATE GREAT[usually deceased]
PLAYERS.PROBLEM IS, EVERYTHING THEY PLAY SOUNDS LIKE,UH, OTHER[usually deceased] PLAYERS.


   

PAUL THOMAS AND MWB take the great American ROCK N ROLL songbook and perform it the same way it was ORIGINALLY presented- WITHOUT gimmicks.
NO cloying nostalgia nor attempts to slavishly copy a style, a sound, a look, clothing or any other tired cliche's too often found in live performance.

IMAGINE what it is like for a band to perform songs that "lit up" the players. That in some cases, those songs  are the DIRECT LINK to why someone first decided to play music in the first place.
IMAGINE how, as a listener, what it was like to have heard songs for the first time that moved you in ways ROCK AND ROLL USED TO DO?
Yet, it is impossible to find a band that hasn't "dumbed down" or otherwise compromised its presentation or performance, turning songs into weak shells of what once were the sounds that inspired a generation.
PAUL THOMAS AND MWB perform ROCK N ROLL [plus some R&B, instrumentals, even some standards and more] THE WAY WE FIRST HEARD IT. 
THAT IS, with all the feeling, intensity, and just sheer love for it intact. And yet without being a cover or copy band or,[ God forbid] a "tribute act" 
AGAIN, NO gimmicks, NO cloying nostalgia, NOTHING but what made you listen in the first place.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, We are NOT trying to sound like THAT GUY OR THE OTHER GUY or even THE OTHER, OTHER GUY......................
AND........NO POSEURS- GUARANTEED!!!!!!! To that end, NO Upright basses, and there ARE OTHER guitars besides Telecasters and flamed/sparkly Gretsches.......................  
IF NONE OF THIS APPEALS TO YOU- PLEASE support whatever band or bands are your favorites. Live music needs audiences now more than ever.
BUT-IF YOU BELIEVE IT IS STILL POSSIBLE for a band to deliver on the promise that was,is and will forever be ROCK AND ROLL THEN............
     WE PRESENT PAUL THOMAS AND M W B
