A celebrated singer-songwriter from Seattle, Paul Gerard is recognized for his compelling voice and poignant lyrics. His mission is to "sing your world into being," a sentiment reflected in his unique ballads, romantic tunes, and expansive anthems. These songs delve into and honor his Pacific Northwest roots, global influences, and the wonders of the natural world. His music is a beautiful blend of personal reflection and environmental awareness, creating a powerful connection with listeners.


Paul has recently released an EP titled Greetings From Cascadia, highlighting a song, Cascadia, which is an anthem to the natural and breathtaking beauty of the great Pacific Northwest region.  Download and streaming options available. Check them out here!

Recent Shows & Venue Highlights

From my 2025 Season


This past concert season included performances at a variety of wonderful Pacific Northwest venues. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who came out to listen, share community, and support live music throughout the season.


Please stay tuned for upcoming show announcements—I look forward to bringing more Cascadia-inspired music to new and familiar spaces soon.
