After a quarter century of performing and recording, not every song a band writes can stay in rotation. So as he planned 25th anniversary tour, lead singer Tom Landa had fun dusting off a few treasures to rediscover and share with audiences.

While music from the Vancouver band91裸聊视频檚 latest CD, Score, will highlight the Jan. 27 appearance at Kelowna91裸聊视频檚 , 91裸聊视频渋t91裸聊视频檚 a little bit of a retrospective look back,91裸聊视频� Landa says. Listening to the earlier tunes, exploring the lyrics and recalling the inspiration for the songs, 91裸聊视频測ou realize just how much you91裸聊视频檝e grown as an artist 91裸聊视频� and then the nostalgia kicks in. It91裸聊视频檚 been nice to revisit in that sense.91裸聊视频�

A band to see live

Now, nine albums in, The Paperboys bring their freewheeling blend of influences 91裸聊视频� from Celtic and bluegrass, to Mexican son jarocho, brass bands and Canadian roots 91裸聊视频� to the Kelowna stage.

91裸聊视频淚n the 25 years we91裸聊视频檝e been together, we91裸聊视频檝e been on stage for 100 to 150 shows a year, so on stage is where we feel most comfortable,91裸聊视频� Landa reflects.

No wonder the band has become a festival favourite, playing at Bumbershoot, Vancouver Folk Fest, Tonder Festival, Folk Im Schloss, Trowbridge, Warwick Folk Festival, The Queen Elizabeth Theatre and The Kennedy Centre among others.

On stage, Landa and Geoffrey Kelly share the emcee role, and true to folk tradition, share with audiences stories about the history of the songs, sprinkled with humour and the invitation to sing along.

Musical connections run deep

Those kind of connections are at the core of The Paperboys91裸聊视频� music.

91裸聊视频淲hat means more to me than anything else is to receive letters, emails or hear stories from people who tell me that our songs helped them through a tough time, or that they used one of our songs for their wedding, or that an album of ours was the soundtrack of their summer. At the end of the day, accolades are nice, but they are nothing compared to connecting with people,91裸聊视频� Landa says.

Enjoy the show!
