Come join me and a full band of friends to celebrate my album release at the end of summer! Family friendly for all ages.
The concert will be held in the beautiful RHUMC sanctuary, and across the courtyard (for littles 3+) there will be a movie being shown. In the back of the sanctuary is a cry room for parents with infants who still want to enjoy the show!

Bio
Paula Fong is an Americana/Folk singer songwriter from Los Angeles who grew up harmony singing in choirs and small acapella groups. She continued to explore singing various genres from Classical to Chinese opera and eventually joined an Americana church band where the main musical focus was acoustic country and folk - the kind of music that is both spiritual and also something people can relate to in everyday life. During that time she fell deeply in love with folk and roots music and became enamored with the classic voices and songwriting of Joni Mitchell and Patty Griffin, but was also inspired by indie folk groups like NickelCreek and Iron and Wine. From 2015-2019 she teamed up with Seattle based singer-songwriter Tom Kell and they released two albums of co-written music. She is currently co-directing an Americana music service, singing back up vocals and touring with Abby Posner's band - Abby Posner and the Big Fall, as well as recording her first solo EP which is due for release later in 2024.
"I have been a fan of Paula Fong's singing for so many years and I am thrilled that she is finally coming out with a recording of her own music. I have always loved her singing - her voice has a clarity and sweetness that warms you but she can also reach down and grab you with surprising strength and grit when she wants to... And I have to say that I was not prepared for the depth and maturity of her songwriting. This is a great record!"
- Teresa James of Teresa and the Rhythm Tramps (Grammy nominee blues artist)
