THE STILLHOUSE SONGWRITER SESSIONS

Set in a listening room atmosphere that creates a unique experience for both artists and fans, The Stillhouse Songwriter Sessions will focus on the craft of songwriting and the stories that go along with it.

FOOD/BEVERAGE

Food and beverage will be available for order before and during the show. We do recommend that you come early to avoid waits.

SEATING

For sold out shows, seating may be assigned; otherwise it is rush seating. Tables will be reserved for parties exceeding 6 guests.

THE LISTENING ROOM ATMOSPHERE

What you will experience here is a listening room. And while the performers love the audience to applaud and laugh, too much conversation during the show distracts other listeners and is disrespectful to the songwriters who form the backbone of this very special evening. We encourage talking before the show, between sets, during intermission, and after the show but ask that during the performances, audience members keep their voices low and talking to a minimum.

ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR ARTISTS

As a way of bringing some of the Nashville Honkytonk Tradition to this evening audience members may show their appreciation to the songwriters by making a donation in the artist tip jar located at the front of the stage at any time they wish throughout the evening.

MEET THE ARTISTS

PAUL WOIDA

Paul turns heads everywhere he goes with his catchy hooks, emotive vocals, unique live show and incredible musicianship.

Paul graduated from MacEwan University with diplomas in both Composition and Drum Set Performance thus has the unique ability to combine complex rhythms with melody and harmony resulting in a sound close to that of a full band.

Paul’s musical aesthetic is a blend of Sia’s emotive vocal delivery, her inherent musical sensibilities, and often compared to Ed Sheeran’s accessibility.

Paul is currently writing and developing with a team in Nashville consisting of Nick Schwarz (Skillet, Danny Gokey, I AM THEY), Jeff Cates (Backstreet Boys, Chris Tomlin), Jeff Pardo (Grammy nominated), Ethan Hulse (Tauren Wells, Zach Williams) and Tony Wood (5X Dove award winner).

Paul’s career highlights, thus far, include selling out Edmonton’s Winspear (2019), winning Hot 107’s $10,000 dollar Hot Factor competition, placing first in the Edmonton Landmark Showcase competition, being chosen to open for Casting Crowns at the 2016 Break Forth conference and winning the 2016 Airmiles ‘Detour Big Break’ Competition which brought him to Port Hawkesbury NS to open for Meghan Trainor.

Besides playing weddings, corporate functions and clubs all over North America, Paul has played many fundraisers for the likes of hockey great, Glen Sather, and Dragons’ Den star, Brett Wilson. He’s also worked with the E Power Anti-Bullying Campaign which tours schools across Canada as well as with the Robb Nash Project super shows and school tours. To share his passion for people, Paul has participated in various youth empowerment benefit concerts and spent time in China in November 2017 with We Stand, a youth leadership summit. Lastly, Paul is part of the Edmonton United Way Campaign having co-written and participated in their popular 2016 campaign video. Paul’s passion is music and that passion is fueled by his love for people. Paul wants to inspire and be a positive role model for people of all ages.

His desire is to help them see that dreams are achievable if you work hard and keep striving!
