Paleface-influence on Beck, Kimya Dawson, returns to Southpaw
Paleface says their songs are always evolving, alive and growing, in part because of the vital energy they exchange with fans that come to see them play at the 200+ shows they perform a year. Paleface was schooled by friend Daniel Johnston and soon discovered by the legendary Danny Fields at an NYC Antifolk open mic. He has since released over a dozen records including two major label releases. Paleface has influenced and inspired a wide range of artists including Grammy Award recipients Kimya Dawson, who described Paleface as “one of my favorite people on the planet” and Beck who called Paleface “a big influence on my early work” in Annie Leibovitz's book "American Music.” Paleface has also written and appeared on three albums by The Avett Brothers.
Paleface returns to Southpaw on Thursday, June 30th.
Shenandoah and The Night bring their gorgeous to the show, as well as Ithaca's extremely talented newcomers
