Eli "Paperboy" Reed

Now this sure sounds fun. Boston soul man Eli "Paperboy" Reed is assuredly old-school in his approach; his voice evokes Otis Redding, yet he has a light touch that can seem almost dainty. He's playing two nights at Union Pool behind his forthcoming album—the single is the thoroughly enjoyable "WooHoo"—and special guests plus vintage records and clothing vendors are promised.
