Look at that really pale guy in the background... LOL 


I achieved 10,000 hours of alternative music inundation by my tweens.  It's who I am- I love it.  By 11 years old I'd won all the ZROCK 102.5 music trivia contests dozens of times.  Yes I can name that 7 Merry 3 song in 0.5 seconds!  Ugh, Fortunately my tastes have evolved over the last  20 years...

I'm a far better songwriter than musician, my mind wanders too much to ever cover a song, so I had to write my own.  Since 2004 I've been trying get the songs out of my head into your stereo. 

This fall I finally got into a studio with an amazing producer in Växjö, Sweden (Ludvig Nilson).  I'm super proud of our seven songs and I hope you enjoy them too.  We're in the studio every week and there are dozens more to come!  This is just the tip of the iceberg.

I'm an LA native, who has moved every few years. In order, I'm from: LA, Colordao, St. Louis, Santa Fe, LA, Tanzania, Copenhagen, Älmhult, Sweden.  Living in so many places must have impacted my music, but I couldn't explain how.  2 years alone in a hut in Tanzania with my guitar must do something though...


Originally born of the inspiring life story of lead-singer, Benjamin Doerr’s grandfather, the music of St. Paul de Vence followed the journey of the boy who grew up in the south of France, came of age under the Nazi Occupation, and went on to fight with the Free French, liberating France at the end of WWII.  

Driven by a love of strong harmonies, varied instrumentation, and a narrative at once adventurous and relatable, the band continues to explore sonic landscapes, bringing a great dynamic with them from the record to the stage.   

Having built their sound - and indeed their entire experience - organically, they continue to find themselves in inspiring performance opportunities ranging from festivals to living rooms, clubs to private events.  At the heart of the process is the never ending re-discovery of the human condition.
