 Paula Fong

With a voice that can vary from lilting trad folk, to upbeat country toe tappers, to soulful grit, Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter Paula Fong delivers a captivating Americana/folk sound rooted in her refined yet adventurous musicality. You can hear the influence of the classic voices of Joni Mitchell and Patti Griffin, as well as indie folk groups such as The Wailin' Jennys and NickelCreek in her sound. From 2015-2019 she teamed up with Seattle based singer-songwriter Tom Kell and they released two albums of co-written music. In the fall of 2024 she released her first solo EP, Chestnut Mare. Currently she sings back up vocals and tours with Abby Posner's band - Abby Posner and the Big Fall, is an MD for an Americana/folk music church service (think Watkin's Family Hour if it was a church service) and in 2025 was nominated as a finalist in the International Acoustic Music Awards and semi finalist in the Unsigned Only music competition.

    Title ShortPaula Fong - Acoustic Americana/Roots music with \nutritional value\ for the soul
    Venue Front Porch
    Experience DescriptionLos Angeles singer-songwriter Paula Fong extends an open handed invitation from the moment she takes the stage. She pairs pure-toned clarity with a soulful power that defies her small stature. Her sound traverses the full landscape of roots music—from stark Gillian Welch-style acoustic to country swing to rockin singer/songwriter strength. Her genre versatility draws comparisons to Patty Griffin, Linda Ronstadt and Karla Bonoff. She grew up singing in choirs and a cappella groups, and spent some formative time in the French countryside, where local folk traditions left a lasting impression on her. Over the years she explored an eclectic range of styles, from classical to Chinese opera - before finding a true home in an Americana music church service band whose music lived at the intersection of acoustic country, folk, and the spiritual. Her love of harmony and roots music became the foundation of everything she'd go on to create and continue to share with the world.
