Tall Paul & Kristie Bobal

With roots in Cleveland, OH, Virginia Beach, VA & Boone, NC, Tall Paul found himself in Nashville, TN, a city which is known for Country music but actually is a really good home base for musicians of any stripe, particularly American roots music like Jazz, Blues, Rock and country’s cousin, Bluegrass. Kristie’s roots are in Nashville itself, so it’s no surprise that she’d be at home making music which is as eclectic as the city itself.

The duo’s live shows have become something of legend across the southeast. They’ve shared stages of various sizes and are equally at home in honky tonks and bars as they are on festival stages. But for as great as their touring live show has been, the roots of Whiskey & Wine happened when the pandemic shut 2020 down and forced Tall Paul & Kristie to reinvent themselves with weekly Facebook live shows. Shows which have grown their fan base as they showcased their talents worldwide.

Outside of their partnership as Tall Paul & Kristie, both artists have and continue to work in other venues. Tall Paul has recorded several albums as a solo artist where he’s also landed on “best of” lists alongside Nashville-based stalwarts John Hiatt and Jonell Mosser. He was also a member of the band St. Somewhere and is a founding member of the band Ramajay Intercostal. Kristie Bobal has recorded as both a solo artist and as 1/3 of the trio Girlz Rule. Kristie’s solo album Blissfull Magic Moment is also available.
