Career

Paul Burch is a recording artist for 'Plowboy Records'. He is said to own and drive several automobiles, enjoys good food and drink, fine paintings and sculpture, baseball, and most dogs. He plays cards on Saturday nights, often in the company of women, and is fond of the music of Charlie Patton. According to CMT Edge he is "not crazy about following rules."

It is known that Burch moved to Nashville in the early 1990s where he performed nightly marathon shows at Tootsie's Orchid Lounge, one of Nashville's most notorious honky tonks, making fans of Marianne Faithfull and Chet Atkins and forming his backing band, The WPA Ballclub. Burch's performances and the Lower Broadway scene garnered national attention and a feature in Billboard by former Rolling Stone bureau chief Chet Flippo. Burch's debut album Pan-American Flash was praised by Flippo as “extraordinary, establishing Burch as a leader in marrying country’s roots traditions with a modern sensibility”. The album was also voted among the Top 5 country album of the 1990s by Amazon.com.
