Paper Trails
Singer Shelby Neubauer and guitarist Aaron Meyers blend vintage Americana with modern, ambient melodies that harmonize beautifully and compliment the honest and soulful lyrics these two deliver. Songs like the haunting “This Thing We Do” and “Beautiful Faces” highlight emotions of a beautiful sadness, forging a story when coupled with folk-like lyrics; while songs like “Only One” follow a marching tempo and have more of that retro Americana feel.
The real creativity of this band is how they take a classic, rustic style of American music and make it so modern. Paper Trails blends Nashville-based sounds with hip, modern and ambient melodies– all with the spirit of rock n’ roll. Some songs have a hip, artistic feel, like echoing distortions that give the song a psychedelic feel, while other songs are broken down and acoustic (such as “Until I Get”), showing off the velvet pipes of this Americana duo. Their sound really resonates with the Nashville crowd because it is something that can be appreciated with Nashville’s hip, east-side crowd and the old fashioned country music lovers Nashville is so well-known for.
These two have had a Nashville following for years, playing honkey-tonks and venues around town since their band’s conception. They have been a part of local concert series and have been a Nashville favorite for years. Now, they have a brand new, self-titled EP soon to be released with a brand new music video, and they’re prepped to blast off beyond the scope of Nashville.
Check them out on Facebook, Instagram and at www.papertrailsduo.com for updates on the new EP as well as their most recent tracks (and old ones). And look out for upcoming live performances as their self-titled EP is released. This is a duo to keep on your radar because they can legitimately make some waves, and we at Nashville Unsigned can’t get enough of them.
