Seeking: Review
Style: Folk-Rock, Singer-Songwriter
You would swear, while listening to a song like “Awake,” that Paul Givant has been around for a few decades at least. There’s such a knowing authenticity about his music, which deftly merges folk, rock, Americana and even a hint of bluegrass, that you instinctively trust his every word. That, plus a production job that is clean without polishing away the necessary edge, and you’re all the way in. Givant has an expressive voice, too; a line like “sailing on the starlight and tripping on the moon” could sound hokey in lesser hands, but here, we’re ready to sail with him.
