The State Theatre Presents & WXPN Welcomes
St. Paul & The Broken Bones
with support from The Psycodelics
St. Paul & The Broken Bones are a powerhouse soul ensemble from Alabama known for their electrifying live shows and impassioned vocals. Formed in Birmingham in 2011, the band features Paul Janeway (vocals), Jesse Phillips (bass), Browan Lollar (guitar), Kevin Leon (drums), Al Gamble (keyboards), Allen Branstetter (trumpet), Chad Fisher (trombone), and Amari Ansari (saxophone).
Their new self-titled sixth album marks a creative renewal—melding the band’s adventurous spirit with a return to soulful, song-focused roots. Recorded at the legendary FAME Studios and produced by Eg White (Adele, Celine Dion), the record blends psych-funk grooves, gospel-tinged ballads, and cinematic rock flourishes. Tracks like “Sushi and Coca-Cola” and “Going Back” reflect both personal introspection and the band’s deepened identity after a decade of evolution.
St. Paul & The Broken Bones have shared stages with The Rolling Stones, Lizzo, and Black Pumas, and performed at major festivals like Coachella, Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, and Bonnaroo. Even Sir Elton John took notice, inviting them to perform at his Oscar party. Blending rock & roll, soul, R&B, and more, the band continues to captivate audiences around the world.
Once every millennia, the forces of nature and the stars above, align to give the human race a gift from the Gods. For this chapter in our existence, that gift is The Psycodelics.
The group embodies and glorifies Black American Music. Elements from Funk, Blues, Gospel and R&B leave the audience in awe with sounds that hit you like a freight train. Audience members and fans have compared the band to the likes of Parliament Funkadelic, Prince and Morris Day & The Time. Their debut album “Please Keep Off The Grass” has already garnered Grammy Recording Academy attention and is set to release Easter Sunday, April 20th.
The band has already established a buzz amongst the festival scene by capturing audiences at Peach Fest, Joshua Tree Music Festival, Jam Cruise and many more. The Psycodelics have traveled the country supporting Neal Francis, Fearless Flyers and Durand Jones and the Indications. .
The Psycodelics are Cameron Wescott (bass, vox), Sean Bing (drum, vox), Noah Jones (keys), Whitt Burn (guitar) and Chris Barnwell (percussion).
