Paul Cebar

Milwaukee native Paul Cebar is a singing, strumming, and dancing museum of musical culture and a self-styled historian of myriad musical forms. Countless sounds pour forth into a new brew when Cebar takes the stage: New Orleans, Chicago, New York, Africa, Brazil, Cuba, jump-blues, gospel, jazz, reggae, calypso, soul, and vintage R&B are starting points for something that becomes uniquely Cebar. This mishmash helps re-imagine and liven up obscure classics, and the band’s originals present new viewpoints on established styles. Cebar’s 2009 solo acoustic album, One Little Light On, features collaborations with fellow Milwaukee music scene fixtures Willy Porter and Peter Mulvey.
