Biography

Originally born of the inspiring life story of lead-singer, Benjamin Doerr’s grandfather, the music of St. Paul de Vence followed the journey of the boy who grew up in the south of France, came of age under the Nazi Occupation, and went on to fight with the Free French, liberating France at the end of WWII. Driven by a love of strong harmonies, varied instrumentation, and a narrative at once adventurous and relatable, the band continues to explore sonic landscapes, bringing a great dynamic with them from the record to the stage. Having built their sound - and indeed their entire experience - organically, they continue to find themselves in inspiring performance opportunities ranging from festivals to living rooms, clubs to private events. At the heart of the process is the never ending re-discovery of the human condition.
