Much-loved Canadian folk rock band comes to Bellevue.

Bellevue, Washington, September 12, 2019 – Vancouver, BC-based touring band The Paperboys are scheduled to bring their high energy music to Bellevue’s Meydenbauer Center Theatre for the first time on Friday, October 18.

For a quarter century, The Paperboys have been touring the world and lighting up stages with their freewheeling blend of influences from Celtic and bluegrass, to Mexican son jarocho, brass bands, and Canadian roots. They have been called everything from Cajun slamgrass to worldbeat, they’ve received a Juno award (Canadian Grammy), plus two Juno nominations, two West Coast Music Awards, and have released nine albums.

Understanding the band's regional fan base, the venue is offering a next-level VIP experience, featuring a pre-show meet and greet with the band, complete with a craft beer tasting and array of high-end pub fair put together by Meydenbauer Center’s renowned and creative in-house culinary team. Samples from the menu include crab, chive and filo bakes, stuffed sweet peppers, meatball sliders, antipasti, black bean cups, and much more.

Their latest CD, ‘ Score’ is full of these signature sounds: exotic world rhythms, Celtic melodies, explosive brass lines from their extended 8-piece ensemble, Celtic fiddle and pennywhistle blazing through an old reel, Americana, Bluegrass and English Language rock songs with strong pop influences, and even Spanish language songs that reflect band leader Tom Landa’s Mexican heritage. Their music is a melting pot sound that reflects the diversity of the band’s home city, Vancouver, BC.

Although the Paperboys have made critically acclaimed records, they are through and through a live act. They shine most on stage. They have spent the last 25 years on the road playing all over North America and Europe, where they have developed a large following without the aid of a record label or radio play. They have become a festival favorite, and have played at Bumbershoot, Vancouver Folk Fest, Edmonton Folk Festival, Tonder Festival, Folk Im Schloss, Trowbridge, Warwick Folk Festival, The Queen Elizabeth Theatre and The Kennedy Centre, to name a few. It will be hard for audiences to remain seated and they can count on leaving the show invigorated and feeling better than when they came in.
