Christopher Paul Stelling CMJ Performance

Christopher Paul Stelling Live At The Living Room

Having released his official debut album Songs of Praise and Scorn in February of 2012, Christopher Paul Stelling continues to tour relentlessly. Recorded above a working funeral home in Louisville, KY, the album features backing vocals from Julia Christgau and violin accompaniment by Cheyenne Marie Mize. Unfortunately neither were able to join him on stage, however Christopher remains singing his songs with a pure uninhibited delivery. Ranging from whisper-quiet, to a wall of sound through his expertly finger-picked guitar melodies, incendiary howling vocals, and foot stomps set against his signature storytelling, which conjures up a vast and alluring palette of unearthly yet organic imagery. Having graced the stages of a hugely diverse gamut of venues, both small and large, on the reputation of his live performance alone, this record is sure to confirm his place among today’s most vital and relevant songwriters.

Stelling is becoming known for the intensity and passion put into his live performances. Owing as much to the bards and troubadours of times long since past as to his contemporaries, Stelling’s ever developing commitment to his craft is obvious. Between tours he is currently preparing his second album, False Cities for release in early 2013.
