This catchy song “Paper Piano” by professional singer-songwriter Afton Wolfe, will leave you stuck on repeat for days! The minute we heard this song we fell in love with it and we got so excited to write about it. This is a song about making the best out of what you have. It’s about growing up poor and using your imagination and realizing that most of the barriers we face are arbitrary and artificial. Afton Wolfe is a talented artist and he has one of the richest voices we’ve ever heard! The atmosphere of this song is unique and the production work is beautiful and sounds very professional. The lyrics are original and mesh with the vocal melodies perfectly. The drums are great and the piano and saxophones add the most perfect touch we could ever ask for. This song is a great experience from start to finish! We hope you love it as much as we do!
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Afton Wolfe is Mississippi. Born in McComb, and growing up in Meridian, Hattiesburg, and Greenville, Mississippi, the roots of American music are in his DNA. Mississippi is the birthplace of at least three American art forms: country music, blues music, and rock and roll. Meridian is the birthplace of Jimmie Rodgers, while the Mississippi Delta is the birthplace of the blues, and the first rock n’ roll notes ever played according to intelligent music historians, came from Hattiesburg. Additionally, he spent his musically formative years in and around New Orleans, where the humidity of the Mississippi combined with the Creole seasonings, the jazz, zydeco, creole, and gospel music and his Mississippi roots coalesce to add that extra resonance and unpredictability to his blues/country/rock influences.
Recording and performing with various acts (Red Velvet Couch, Dollar Book Floyd, RootMan, The Relief Effort) since the late 90’s, with a short break to get a doctorate, Afton released his first EP, Petronius’ Last Meal, to critical acclaim in the summer of 2020. His upcoming release Kings for Sale is even more ambitious. It defies genres while still being distinctly Mississippi and Afton. The new record, slated to be released in Spring of 2021, was produced by Oz Fritz (Bill Laswell, Tom Waits, The Ramones, Bob Marley, and many others) and featuring an enviable assortment of great musicians, including but not limited to Cary Hudson (Blue Mountain, Taylor Street Grocery Band), Daniel Seymour (David Olney, Tommy Womack), Adam “Ditch” Kurtz (Great Peacock, Carrus and Kurtz), Ben Babylon (SpoBro, Sir Please), Laura Rabell, Kristen Englenz, Blaise Hearn, Rebecca Weiner Tompkins, and even more, if you care to believe that.
Afton is active on social media and will reciprocate any and all cooperation and promotions. Thanks for checking out the music.
