About this Event
SHOW DESCRIPTION:
The first half of the show will be therapeutic. YOU GOT A PROBLEM? Tell it to the Rock 'n' Roll Therapist and he will sing a song on the spot, and you will be healed. This is the claim of Paul McMahon, who guarantees his 100% cure rate. If he sings a song about your problem, it will be healed. It’s only a question of time. The cure is absolute, but time is relative. Most cures are instantaneous, but in rare cases it may take longer. If the complaint persists for more than seven lifetimes, McMahon will take it as his own personal problem.
The second half of the show might be therapeutic too. Many of Paul’s songs were written during his arduous emotional healing process and have insights capable of triggering healing thoughts and vibrations in listeners. His concerts are a different kind of sound bath.
"Paul's musical wizardry combines insights worthy of Dylan with the vocal charm of Willie Nelson and the eclecticism of the Beatles. Paul has written some of the most beautiful love songs of our times and he can sing them with tenderness, passion and humor."
-Sharon Gannon, co-founder Jivamukti Yoga School
"It was my first day in Boston and I had the good fortune of meeting someone (Paul) who I have admired all my life."
-Alex Grey
"Paul is the troubadour king of Woodstock, N.Y., highly honored, highly respected. Seen as one of the true practitioners of all that’s correct about life and art."
-Linda Mary MontanoI always felt YOU NOT Sonic Youth were the real ‘downtown Beatles’.-Glenn Branca
"Disguised as a spaced out hippie, Paul McMahon reorders American logic through visual art, bumperstickers, and song."
-Sparrow Chronogram
"Haunted by clarity he carries the circle. His voice contains the seed sound.-Joseph 'Beautiful Painted Arrow’ Rael.…a beloved old school hippie and singer-songwriter cat…This dude has some serious magic …smooth talkin’ wise old wiseguy…"
-Morgan Y. Evans Kingston Times
