First Album in Over a Decade. Produced by Alex Hall (J.D. McPherson, Nick Lowe). 
Milwaukee music icon Paul Cebar returns today with his long-awaited self-titled album, Paul Cebar, out now. Produced by Alex Hall (JD McPherson, The Cactus Blossoms), the album marks Cebar’s first in over a decade and arrives as a deeply personal, stylistically expansive statement from one of America’s most joyful purveyors of R&B, global rhythms, and roots music. The album weaves together themes of love, loss, resilience, and celebration with the sonic threads of soul, reggae, Tex-Mex, gospel, rock, and beyond. Cebar describes the record as his most personal yet: “This one’s really where I’m at. This is me.”
Building on the momentum of early single “When We Sing”—originally penned for the Blind Boys of Alabama and praised for its jubilant, gospel-charged spirit—Paul Cebar showcases the breadth of his songwriting and the depth of his influences. Additional pre-release tracks including “Sunday Ride” and “We Sure Got Enough” evoke shimmering textures, driving rhythms, and heartfelt lyrics tie together the voices of his Tomorrow Sound band with contributions from his extended musical family in New Orleans and Chicago.
Cebar has long been celebrated as a genre-hopping bandleader with encyclopedic knowledge of blues, gospel, Afro-Caribbean, and vintage soul. From his early days with the R&B Cadets and the Milwaukeeans to his current work with Tomorrow Sound, he’s built a reputation as a dance floor-packing, community-driven force. His impact extends beyond the stage with his beloved Way Back Home radio show on Milwaukee’s WMSE, which celebrates its 35th anniversary in 2025.
With Paul Cebar, the musician cements his legacy as a singular storyteller and performer whose work both honors tradition and moves it forward.
