St. Paul & The Broken Bones

St. Paul & The Broken Bones bring their blend of soul, funk and R&B to Grand Central Hall in Liverpool. The concert pairs a featured vocalist with a band of the same name.

St. Paul & The Broken Bones is a soul and funk project from Birmingham, Alabama, in which the vocalist known as St. Paul leads The Broken Bones, the band that shares the project's name. The music draws on R&B, soul, funk, gospel and reggae, with the vocals carrying the gospel phrasing and emotional directness typical of classic soul, while the band's arrangements lean on the rhythmic drive of 1960s and 1970s funk.

Because the project presents the singer and the band as one unit, the concert is best understood as a full collaborative performance rather than a solo appearance by the front figure. The repertoire draws on the group's recordings across several releases, combining slower soul ballads with up-tempo funk material.

Grand Central Hall hosts concerts and shows in Liverpool, and this date places the act in the city's live programme. The night will appeal to listeners who follow soul, funk and R&B, and to those who enjoy the gospel and reggae influences that run through the band's sound.
