Before dominating the kids music scene, Miss Paula was known for her bands The Roomates, Vertical Pillows, and Motor Dolls. After becoming a mother to two daughters in 1998, she reworked classic nursery rhymes into rock and roll tunes with her punk rock group The Candy Band, releasing five albums and performing everywhere from Lollapalooza to NYC Kindiefest. In 2015, Miss Paula returned with a new line-up that includes saxophonist Ryan Bills, bassist Rob Messner, drummer Darryl Pierce, and backup vocalist Liz Fornal. You may have seen them around town performing at the Detroit Zoo, DSO Tiny Tots concerts, and variouslibraries, schools, parks, and playgrounds. With two albums and one children’s storybook compiled of her favorite original kids songs under her belt, Miss Paula is going strong and continues to entertain kids and adults.
