“When it comes to voices, they don't come much more powerful than our old friend, Paul Sachs. He'd blow people away on a regular basis down at the old Fast Folk Cafe and he's still doing it.â€
Acoustic Live Magazine
"If the Greenwich Village folk scene ever kicks back into high gear as in the 60s, well all be better served if Paul Sachs joins in and shares his tales with us. This is my request that he do just that."
Derek Blackmon - Indie-Music.com
Paul Sachs was born and raised on the Lower East Side of New York City. He discovered such artists as Harry Chapin, Springsteen, and of course Bob Dylan, which pushed him into the folk music circles of the city. His songs soon caught the attention of other area performers, and he was featured in Fast Folk Musical Magazine. One of his songs was eventually selected for inclusion in the Smithsonian Fast Folk collection. Sachs still lives on the Lower East Side, performing in various venues around the city. He has recorded two independent albums, both featuring often raw and seeringly personal songs of life and love on the mean streets. His fingerstyle guitar work and powerful voice combine to create mesmerizing vignettes of the city that has been the backdrop of his life.
His new CD, The Refuge, contains 12 original new songs. Mixed at Dubway Studios in NYC.

Joe Forte AKA Jojo Americano states....."His metaphors are so organically built, so subtly derived from the mis-en-
scene of the song as to catch the listener unawares. One finds while
distracted by the simple pleasures of a finger picked acoustic guitar and
Paul's unshaven unapologetic vocal that the vast and crucial beauty of the
song has crept in the back door. It is at its most emotional a buoyant
affirmation of the joy and sorrow bled from a life well lived....."
