St. Paul and the Broken Bones

In June, St. Paul and the Broken Bones were set to headline Band Together, a benefit concert at Red Hat Amphitheater. Days before, lead singer Paul Janeway underwent an emergency appendectomy and was advised to rest his voice on the night of the show. The seven other members of the Birmingham, Alabama octet performed an abridged set, but also chose to reschedule the full performance for August 29, which honors all original tickets. The Broken Bones made waves in the early 2010s with their self-released EP, Greetings from St. Paul and the Broken Bones, which mixed modern production with blues and soul influences, much like The Black Keys or Alabama Shakes. Janeway’s vehement vocals and passionate stage presence, matched by the group’s remarkable horn section, makes for one of the most sincere live acts of the last decade. Proceeds from the concert will go towards Inter-Faith Food Shuttle’s new facility in Durham. Raleigh’s The Connells will open, as will Terminator X, the former DJ of Public Enemy.
