This year marks the 30th anniversary for globe-touring Canadian sextet The Paperboys, performing at the Kay Meek Arts Centre on November 10 from 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm.
Their live show offers a style that suits all musical tastes, including freewheeling Celtic reels, traditional Mexican folk, fiddle tunes, New Orleans brass band music, classic pop song-craft, bluegrass, and even a philosophical waltz or two.
The heart of The Paperboys is a trio of gifted songwriters and musicians: fedora-hatted vocalist-guitarist-bandleader Tom Landa, the group’s founder; lifelong fiddler-vocalist Kalissa Landa; and Spirit of the West’s flautist-guitarist-vocalist Geoffrey Kelly, who was already a Canadian musical icon when he joined the band in 1997.
Though best known for their live shows, The Paperboys also have a deep and impressive discography. The band has released 10 recordings, including the Juno Award-winning Molinos, receiving accolades along the way.
