Main: The San Francisco, California based Anthony Paule Soul Orchestra, is the 2007 brainchild of guitarist/songwriter Anthony Paule. Inspired by authentic Soul and Blues recordings of the ‘60s and ‘70s, this dramatic horn driven powerhouse took shape. Known for having top shelf singers, APSO invites newest member, the incomparable vocalist Willy Jordan to the stage. Having worked with Elvin Bishop’s Big Fun Trio, John Lee Hooker and others, Willy holds court from a throne previously occupied by Wee Willie Walker, Frank Bey, and Terrie Odabi. Willy’s commanding vocals and unpretentious stage presence, give audiences an honest, fresh, heartfelt experience. Nominated for 2 Grammy awards, Drummer and vocalist Willy Jordon has a varied musical background (blues, zydeco, rhythm and blues, soul, funk, rock, and jazz). He has performed and/or recorded with Elvin Bishop, Frank Morgan, Charlie Musselwhite, Carlos Santana, A Case of the Willys, and Gator Beat. From 1996 to 1998 Willy toured and recorded with blues legend John Lee Hooker.
