Paul Janeway, singer of the Birmingham, Alabama–based rock and roll soul band St. Paul & The Broken Bones was born and raised in America’s Deep South and has always used his music as an outlet from which to share what was in his heart and on his mind. With a powerful voice, a magnetism for connecting with people, and a gift for music, he traded in a career in ministry to start St. Paul & The Broken Bones in 2012.
In addition to Janeway on lead vocals and co-band leader Jesse Phillips on bass and guitar, the lineup is rounded out by Browan Lollar (guitars), Andrew Lee (drums), Al Gamble (keyboards), Allen Branstetter (trumpet), Chad Fisher (trombone) and Amari Ansari (saxophone).
The band’s latest project, Young Sick Camellia created a space for St. Paul & The Broken Bones to rival any forward-thinking band making music today, based on a concept all-too familiar to Janeway: family, and how we love them despite our differences.
