WELCOME TO PAULA’S SITE!

Paula Sinclair is not your ordinary songstress. Although singing is Paula's first love, songwriting and guitar follow close behind. At 14, she was already performing in local coffee houses. From there she developed her style as a singer-songwriter, blending her original lyrics and powerful, earthy vocals with an alt-country flavor that is all her own.

In 2006, Paula released
Avalanche, her CD of original songs about survival and self-renewal, available on CD Baby.

Recently, Paula has taken another step in her journey. Turning the poetry of Oregon writers into powerful songs, she recorded her latest CD, The Good Horse, also available on CD Baby.

Paula is currently working on an exciting new project: an all-William Stafford CD, featuring her latest songs of poems by the late U.S. Library of Congress Poet Laureate. When you come out to one of Paula's live shows, you can be sure that she will perform some of these new songs.
