Bearkat & Paul Starling: Different Drum

Dinner Party, Rochester Minnesota

Reviews!

"....WOW!! We loved his 2007 debut - "Ghost Waltz", and what a gorgeous, late 60's/early 70's-inspired, lush, 14-song, jangle, hook and harmony-filled sophomore effort this is!"
- Kool Kat Musik

"Taking on a bit of 60's folk rock sound at times, not unlike The Cyrkle, mixed with The Association and 'Pet Sounds'-era Beach Boys, he weaves together baroque summer pop songs perfect like a cool breeze on a hot July day."

Bio

Paul Starling writes & records original songs. He plays: guitar, bass, drums, piano, banjo, ukulele, & various other instruments. Known for a 60's vibe with a modern twist, Paul Starling creates what he calls 'nautical pop'. Music to sail to. Float to. Skip rocks over the Pacific to.
His first release was 100% do-it-yourself. Titled "Ghost Waltz", it was received with open arms into the power pop community. Paul then got together a band (Justin Smith, Dave Lotfi, Steve Bringelson, Kenny Bringelson, Andy Macaphee) to play various LA & Ventura county venues. Some of those included: The Mint, The Joint, The Canyon Club, The Ventura Harbor, The Experimental Cafe, Genghis Cohen's, Rocks, etc etc.
Next he signed on with Rockshot Records & put out 2008's "Doors & Windows". He is currently playing various venues around the Los Angeles area while writing & recording new songs along the way.
