Wexwax is a bi-coastal musical collective blending momentum Rock’n’Roll, Blues, Americana, R&B and Psychedelia.

The group was formed seven years ago by Paul Wexler, a singer/songwriter/keyboardist who has spent much of his adult life producing music. Paul has produced and worked in the studio with such artists as The Grateful Dead, Van Morrison, James Brown, The B52s, Grace Jones, The GoGos, Tin Huey, The Fleshtones, The Weirdos, The Mutants and others.

The son of legendary producer/A&R/Record Man Jerry Wexler, Paul’s early immersion in the roots and branches of R&B, Country, Jazz and Rock’n’Roll was a gift from his father that keeps giving and is reflected in Wexwax’s diverse sound.

For the past 8 years, Wexwax has been performing in NYC. Although Paul is now living in the Bay Area, he frequently returns to NYC to gig.

After years of honing their sound, Wexwax has now recorded Swept Away, their debut album. Recorded at 25th Street Studios in Oakland with master engineer Gabriel Shepard helming the board (Taj Mahal, The Kronos Quartet) Swept Away is an ambitious work that fully embraces the band’s multifaceted live shows.

The musicians on Swept Away hail from California, New York and North Carolina and have played with The Rolling Stones,Ronnie Spector, Robert Plant, Dan Hicks, Joe Henderson, Quicksilver Messenger Service and Bob Dourough.

Swept Away features fifteen tracks, thirteen of which are originals by Paul. The two covers are Shady Grove (Traditional), and Jambalaya (Hank Williams).
