About Me

"Paul and Storm's music evokes both tears and fits of laughter – at the same time" -- Washington Post Express

Paul Sabourin and Greg "Storm" DiCostanzo have been writing and performing original funny music together for a long, long time. They hope their music will make you laugh and feel good for a little while, and believe that this aim is noble, right and just.

Millions are familiar with Paul and Storm and their material from the years they spent as one-half of the widely acclaimed a cappella band Da Vinci's Notebook. Bravely picking up instruments in 2004, Paul and Storm continue to write original material as they continue to appear in clubs and at major festivals across the country.

No subject is sacred to this energetic pair as they keep audiences laughing with their humorous and satirical original songs. Paul and Storm’s songs are as catchy and musically interesting as they are funny, and in live performance their harmonies draw comparisons to the Everly Brothers, while their stage presence evokes the Barenaked Ladies.

All of their music is available from their website (www.paulandstorm.com) in CD format or as downloadable mp3's.

Paul and Storm's music is often heard on the "Bob and Tom" syndicated morning radio show, and has been heard on “The Drew Carey Show”, Comedy Central, XM Satellite Radio's "Dr. Demento" show, and on the popular web cartoon site Homestarrunner.com.

Greg "Storm" DiCostanzo proudly plays Martin guitars.

Reviews

"[Paul and Storm] attacked with both high and low humor. There were scatalogical laughs aplenty...but a lot of the fun sprang from the duo's energetic, quick-witted harmony vocals."
- The Washington Post, September 8, 2004
"The pair kept the audience off guard and occasionally off their seats with laughter."
- Soundcheck Magazine, July, 2004
"I laughed so hard that I nearly fell out of my chair…like a standup act by guys with instruments..Check them out, because they’re already hilarious and will only get better from here."
Bethlehem Daily Star
"Two genuinely funny people...Paul and Storm are obvious[ly] cool nerds (the good kind), and their brand of humor should appeal to people that actually have healthy senses of humor."
