Paulie Boy Blues returns to the United Kingdom in January 2026 for a run of shows that will bring his electrifying blend of modern blues and psychedelic rock to fans across England and Scotland.
At just 26 years old, the Maryland-born guitarist and singer has already built a name as one of the most exciting young voices in the contemporary blues scene. After touring extensively across the East Coast of the United States and recently breaking into the Canadian market, Paulie is ready to take the UK by storm once again.
“This will be my third UK appearance,” says Paulie. “I’ve been touring up and down the East Coast, and now I’m bringing that same energy across the pond.”
Paulie fronts the American band Back From The Dead, known for their fiery, psychedelic blues performances. Their 2025 UK tour saw them journey from southern England to Scotland, earning word-of-mouth buzz and enthusiastic crowds along the way. For this upcoming tour, Paulie will perform with a British backing band called The Yorkshire Puddings, creating what he calls “a very unique and marketable arrangement.”
“As far as I know,” he laughs, “the last time there was an American 26-year-old touring through the UK with two Brits, his name was Jimi Hendrix!”
Paulie’s deep love for the blues is reflected not only in his playing but also in his collaborations. “One of my greatest accomplishments was sharing the stage with Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram back in 2023,” he recalls. His friendships with Ingram and Kenny Wayne Shepherd have further inspired him to continue pushing the genre’s boundaries while honoring its roots.
UK publication Blues Matters Magazine recently praised Paulie, writing, “This young artist is proof that the spirit of rock and roll is still alive, loud, and unshakably global.”
Recent singles “Early One Morning” and “Chasing The Dragon” highlight Paulie’s range — the latter an original that channels his psychedelic flair without losing touch with blues tradition. Both are available on all major streaming platforms.
As he prepares to return to the UK, Paulie Boy Blues promises raw, passionate performances that bridge the gap between the classic and the contemporary. These shows mark the beginning of a new chapter in his international journey — and he invites fans to join the ride.
