Paul “SHILTS” Weimar

(sax for Down to the Bone)

visit Paul Weimar's website for more information

Paul “Shilts” Weimar’s career has spanned all forms of jazz, soul and pop music, and he has toured all over the world and recorded with a host of international artists. Most recently, you will have seen Paul as Bandleader and front-man of British urban jazz funk export “Down To The Bone” which has enjoyed massive success in the United States. DTTB have released 7 albums of which Paul is heavily featured, both as a player and as a writer. Since 2004he has been seen as a special guest to many of the top Smooth Jazz artists, such as, Rick Braun, Jeff Lorber, Paul Brown and Peter White. In 2005, whilst working in the Jeff Lorber band, Paul presented some of his music to ARTizen Music along with his partners, Richard Elliot, Steve Chapman and Al Evers. Shilts got signed to the record company. The culmination of this was the release of HeadBoppin in 2006.

The CD received rave reviews and features some of Paul's musical heros. In 2008, after a bitter sweet decision, Paul finally said farewell to DTTB and turned his full focus on his solo career. Armed with his new album Jigsaw Life and a new label, nuGroove Records, things couldn't look brighter for the future. Paul’s ethos is a desire to produce good music without ever losing sight of the fact that it should be good fun at the same time.
