Sig Paulson’s songs are filled with colors and images that are sharp and well defined, as are the characters in the songs, bringing everything into perspective. Sig’s voice is clean and expressive, and he sings with conviction. There are many truths in Paulson’s songs, but there is also a lot of whimsy, which helps make his compositions interesting over repeated listening.

In the fall of 1972, a young Airman 1st Class Paulson took a trip from Castle Air Force Base to Berkley to see John Prine perform. Prine’s humor and stories of everyday people and events captured his imagination. The songs were like concise little movies bringing clarity, empathy and emotion out in Sig. The theater was gone. He felt more like he was back home listening to a friend tell him personal stories that opened his head and heart. That was the moment Sig knew that he wanted people to feel that same way through his own songs.

From my first listing to “Parking Lot Ponies” by Sig Paulson, I have been “On the bus!” Then you hear some more of his catchy, well-crafted tunes… “We Got Rain” comes to mind, and you are a true believer. Sig has such a great energy, vibe and connection with his audience and the songs have timeless imagery. This northwest renegade troubadour is the REAL DEAL!

Sig is currently writing songs for a fifth studio album. He is also beginning to record live performances in hopes of capturing solid performances with energy and heart for a live release in the future.
