The Anthony Paule Soul Orchestra

Based out of San Francisco, California The Anthony Paule Soul Orchestra, was founded in 2007, by guitarist/songwriter Anthony Paule. Inspired by authentic Soul and Blues recordings of the ‘60s and ‘70s, this dramatic horn driven extravagant act took shape. Known for having great, authentic singers, APSO now features the incomparable vocalist Willy Jordan. Having worked with Elvin Bishop’s Big Fun Trio (which garnered him two Grammy Award nominations), and John Lee Hooker among others, Willy holds court from a throne previously occupied by Wee Willie Walker, Frank Bey, and Terrie Odabi. Jordan’s commanding vocals and unpretentious stage presence, give audiences an honest, fresh, heartfelt experience. In October 2024 the APSO released What Are You Waiting For?, an album comprised entirely of original material. This release has been topping all the blues radio charts in the U.S.A, Europe, The U.K., and Australia. What Are You Waiting For? has also garnered three prestigious Blues Music Award nominations; Album Of The Year, Band Of The Year, and Soul Blues Album Of The Year. March of 2026 found the APSO back in the studio recording a new album titled What Can We Do? to be released on the Nola Blue Record label on July 24,2026. This highly anticipated album is comprised of ten new original tracks, along with one unusual cover tune. Mark your calendars!
