A fevered and soulful display of charged folk soul, a Possessed by Paul James performance is worth seeing just on musical face value alone.
The purpose that fuels it is what makes PPJ an urgent force for social justice. Konrad Wert, the Texas-based but Florida-born artist behind Possessed by Paul James, is a schoolteacher turned paladin who’s spun a part-time musical passion into a full-time mission. That mission has sent him and his family on the road to use music as a vehicle to advocate for special needs students. It’s art qua activism, delivered in a fiery spell.
