ELI ‘PAPERBOY’ REED

Friday 2 May 2025

Eli ‘Paperboy’ Reed is a true survivor. One of the first artists of the new generation of singers and songwriters, he wholeheartedly embraced soul music. For over a decade, he has been conquering hearts worldwide with his powerful falsetto cries, and he certainly has no intention of slowing down. At 18, Reed moved to Clarksdale, Mississippi, where he played and sang in various juke joints throughout the Delta. From there, he followed his path to Chicago, where he spent a year working as a music minister at soul legend Mitty Collier’s church on the Southside. On 2 May 2025, he will be at the Kleine Zaal!

PM Warson, a leading figure in today’s R&B scene, broke through in 2021 with the album True Story. His single (Don’t) Hold Me Down grew from a rare vinyl hit to a radio favourite on European stations and was included on The Craig Charles Trunk of Funk Volume 2. During the pandemic, he quickly released a follow-up: the brooding Dig Deep Repeat (2022), featuring the single Leaving Here. With extensive tours of Europe, he established himself as an impressive live act, alongside artists such as Cedric Burnside, Nick Waterhouse and Michael Kiwanuka.
