Paul Cauthen Comes Home to Tyler, TX This October

In the early 2010s, Paul Cauthen was toiling around East Texas, a young solo act with a whole lot of talent and promise. Get tickets to see him at Stanley's in October.

He was able to tap into a new, next-level groove when he joined forces with David Beck to create the powerhouse duo Sons of Fathers, a mesmerizing pairing that burned out way too fast for fans.

In 2016, Cauthen released his debut solo album, My Gospel. Rolling Stone described Cauthen then as “A triple-barreled blast of Texas country, soul and holy-roller rockabilly," which still rings true today. The album has become a definitive work of art for the native Tyler Texan.

Paul Cauthen, a.k.a Big Velvet, released Room 41 in September 2019. The album contains one of the most electrifying songs heard that year in "Cocaine Country Dancing." As funky as the album version of the song is, you've got to hear it solo.

To date, Cauthen has released three albums and an EP as a solo artist, the most recent being "Country Coming Down" in April 2022.

Early this year, Cauthen postponed his tour to focus on his mental well-being, and while that tour was paused, he was diagnosed with cancer.

Cauthen shared a sobering update with fans on social media on Thursday (March 13) that he had been diagnosed with thyroid cancer.

"I will tour again. I will sing on stage again. I'm not done by any means," he assured his supporters as he broke the news.

And tour again he has. Big Velvet is back, selling out shows across the country on his Set 'Em Up and Knock 'Em Down tour. This October, he returns to where it all started, his hometown of Tyler, TX.

Get your tickets now to see Paul Cauthen live in concert at Stanley's Famous Pit BBQ on Saturday, October 11th.
