The music of The Paperboys is Mexican son jarocho mixed in with Irish jigs and reels and a good dose of country and bluegrass. The music has healthy servings of ska, soca, and African highlife, and they've been known to throw in a little reggae, soul, pop, and funk. It's mostly acoustic although they also like electric guitars. It's singer-songwriter base, and it's definitely folk music, but not in the Kumbaya style. The Paperboys have a deep respect and appreciation for tradition, but their music rocks hard and is extremely danceable—but that's not to say it can't be mellow and slow and beautiful. It is never dark or angst ridden, and always full of hop. It's not Jazz, or heavy metal, or punk or grunge, although they love Rush and AC/DC. It is world roots music. It's pop music. It has a tendency to connect people and means a lot to many folks the world over, and for that The Paperboys are very grateful. They are the only multicultural, multiethnic, multigenerational, multilingual, multi-instrumental, genre-bending, co-ed band you will hear today!
