PAUL WEXLER Interview / Jerry Wexler / WexWax / The Go Go’s / Van Morrison / Led Zeppelin

Today we talk to Paul Wexler about his Legendary Father: Jerry Wexler, Paul's work with Van Morrison and the Go Gos, his association with Stone Temple Pilots, we talk about Led Zeppelin (a band his father helped discover)  and of course Paul's own band WexWax and their debut album "Swept Away"!

Rob met Paul many years ago when he walked into his print shop in Clinton, New Jersey (to get sheet music copied) .. they've recently re-connected through facebook.  It was such a pleasure to talk to Paul again and hearing how passionate he is about songwriting and playing music.

ABOUT PAUL:
Paul Wexler has spent much of his adult life producing music. Paul has produced and worked in the studio with such artists as The Grateful Dead, Van Morrison, James Brown, The B52s, Grace Jones, The GoGos, Tin Huey, The Fleshtones, The Weirdos, The Mutants and others.

The son of legendary producer/A&R/Record Man Jerry Wexler, Paul’s early immersion in the roots and branches of R&B, Country, Jazz and Rock’n’Roll was a gift from his father that keeps giving and is reflected in Wexwax’s diverse sound.

For the past 8 years, Wexwax has been performing in NYC. Although Paul is now living in the Bay Area, he frequently returns to NYC to gig.

After years of honing their sound, Wexwax has now recorded Swept Away, their debut album. Recorded at 25th Street Studios in Oakland with master engineer Gabriel Shepard helming the board (Taj Mahal, The Kronos Quartet) Swept Away is an ambitious work that fully embraces the band’s multifaceted live shows.
