Offbeat with Paul Fonfara

The White Whale

Paul Fonfara is a local legend of the Minneapolis music scene, having developed the band Painted Saints and playing with bands like Dreamland Faces and Brass Messengers. This after long travels with Devotchka and Jim White on his way to the current musical travelogue. Shifting more to a film composer role he received a grant to develop a record and make the leap. The record became its own thing that speaks further to his composer sensibilities and why this is in many ways where he belongs. Album is set for release at The Cedar on Saturday December 5th, 2015.
