“One of New York City's best Songwriters” - John Platt

— WFUV

Paul Sachs

Born and raised in New York City. Bob Dylan, Tom Waits and Springsteen are the songwriters that influenced him, and pushed him into the folk music circles of the city. In 2013 he won the prestigious New Folk Songwriter’s contest at the Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas. 

Sachs still lives in NYC, performing in various venues around the city. He has recorded seven independent albums, and has toured throughout Texas and Ireland. 

His fingerstyle guitar work and powerful voice combine to create mesmerizing vignettes. 

In 2022 his new album "Flash Tattoo"  was released. "Paul Sachs proves once again that he is a master of his craft." (Richard Cuccaro Acoustic Live)

"Like Tom Russell and Bruce Springsteen, Paul Sachs is an artisan of carefully-crafted, observant songs drawn from life.
