Combining the ruggedness of rock, the rawness of rap and the relatability of folk, Otautahi local Paul Bacon delivers his acoustic driven originals with a vulnerability and authenticity befitting of the singer/songwriter tradition.  Often introspective and always personal, themes of faith and failure, justice and frailty, love and longing are woven together in honest vocals and  delicate melodies that remind us all of our shared humanity.

Since first discovering an affinity for songwriting at 15, Paul would spend the next 25 years honing his craft.  With influences including Sting, Dave Matthews, Ben Howard, Toto, Steven Wilson and Eminem, he would borrow elements from all, in developing his own unique style based around his preference for fingerstyle guitar and alternate tunings.

Now ready to share with the world, songs previously only privy to bedroom walls,  Paul is actively working toward performing and releasing his large repertoire of original music.
