BIO
If he were alive 100 years ago, Paul J McInnis would have been found strumming on a street corner, singing his songs about roads, girls, and small towns. His closest friends would have been pickers, singers, poets and painters. He would have enjoyed a simple life surrounded by the things he loved. Today, 100 years later, not much is different. If you look for him, Paul can be found strumming on a street corner in some small town, singing songs about roads, girls, and the things he loves. He may slip into his local pub on the way home for a pint with some old friends. It`s a simple life. Paul J McInnis’ music is his own. It is literate, joyful, melancholy, and timeless. He prefers to play in the moment; recording live off the floor with open mics and no overdubs. Mistakes happen, he’ll say, but so does magic. The resulting albums are collections of some of those magical mistakes, all written and arranged by Paul and performed beautifully with some of his closest friends on mandolin, harmonica, accordion, cello or whatever instrument is close by. It is what Paul believes music should be: simple and real.
To remind you of his music, here is the video clip of Paul’s last visit to Desboro Music Hall:

RUMMAGE SALE at Desboro Music Hall
We are having a Rummage Sale for TWO days! Stop on by either on
Sat July 24: 8am – 3pm
Sun July 25: 11am – 3pm.
Half of the proceeds will go to Desboro Music Hall.
This is our second fundraiser to make some money for the Music Hall. 2021 will be our second year without holding any concerts. We are crossing our fingers that next year, we will be able to once again have concerts inside the Hall without a limit on numbers. In the meanwhile, we have had to be a little creative in how we pay the bills. We’re lucky as we don’t have to pay rent or layoff any staff. We are looking forward to welcoming people back into the Hall, even if it’s not for a concert. So come out and Support the Desboro Music Hall on July 24 or 25.
We will be following all COVID protocols. Please wear a mask and keep 2m/6′ apart. Patrons inside will be limited.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at (519) 377-2358 or email us at [email protected]
