The
singer-songwriter of contemporary folk known as Paula Punch has
released her latest official single, “Steer My Boat.” The track
has been proudly published on the Punch Park independent music label
without the direction of the corporate music industry. Mellow,
melodic and uplifting, “Steer My Boat” is the latest reason for
fans of contemporary folk music to take notice of this creative and
unique voice from Australia.
Sydney's Paula
Punch has cited as main artistic influences Ed Kuepper, Joni
Mitchell, Ron Sexsmith, Fleetwood Mac, LP, Elton John, Bob Dylan,
John Lennon, Alanis Morissette, Shawn Colvin, and Lucinda Williams.
Her own style varies from track to track, but runs from a bouncy
Sheryl Crow to a cross between Carole King and Paul Simon. An
acoustic writer at heart, Punch populates her studio tracks with
spare instrumentation that never sounds intrusive.
Asked to comment
on the overall themes of her new “Steer My Boat” single, Paula
Punch writes, “It's a journey ..... speaking from a woman's
perspective about love, freedom, pain, passion, fun, fear, and hope
through my life experience.”
“Steer
My Boat” is the fifth release from Punch in a flurry of official
2017 drops including “Lucky Girl,” “Run and Hide,” “Watch
over Me,” and “Match.” These popular singles, as well as the
rumored upcoming EP album, have all appeared with global distribution
under the Punch Park umbrella.
Paula Punch first began performing in
the Philharmonic Motet Choir before she started fronting university
bands, eventually settling into a career as a session singer. Her
success led her to provide backing vocals for Ed Kuepper and
recording some of her own originals with husband Phil Punch and Matt
Fell. She has since embarked on live performances of her solo
material including a string of opening spots for Ed Kuepper.
She is the founder of female
singer-songwriter shows at which local Sydney acts perform under the
collective banner, the Friday Girls.
Paula Punch now
collaborates with guitarist and recording engineer/producer Rob Gist
to bring her songs to life, with some music recorded at Electric
Avenue Studios.
“Steer
My Boat” by Paula Punch is available online worldwide from over 600
quality digital music stores now. Get in early, contemporary folk
music fans.
