WIREHOUND is Paul Wenzel, a multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter originally from New York and currently residing in Lancaster, PA.

 

Paul is lucky enough to be joined by some of the most talented people in the world - Rick Birmingham (guitar), Eben Seaman (piano/keys), Corey Zack (guitar/production), Dana Hermann (vocals), and Jason Reddish (drums). All of these brilliant musicians have helped bring Paul's music to life. They are the soul of WIREHOUND.

​

In 2006, Paul was recording what promised to be his breakout album, "sleep all day", when the tragic deaths of Paul's father, uncle, and aunt sidetracked the project, forcing Paul to take a long break from writing and performing. 

​

Paul officially formed WIREHOUND in 2014, recording a short EP, "it takes a long time". Unfortunately, tragedy struck again and, months later, Paul was severely disabled in an accident. He developed Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), the worst pain condition known to medicine. 

​

The condition progressed and Paul grew unable to walk, then unable to stand. Soon it was too painful to hold a guitar. As badly as he wanted to share his music with the world, it looked like it would never happen.

​

Then, miraculously, a doctor - an expert in CRPS - moved to Paul's town. After months of visits and tests, Paul not only got major surgery, he got his life back. After two years of physical therapy, Paul was ready.

​​

Paul was joined at Corey Zack's incredible The Cocoon in Jersey City by Rick, Eben, Dana, Jay, and some incredible string and horn players to make Paul's dream happen. And, after a year and a half of work, a masterpiece was born.

​

WIREHOUND's long-awaited debut album, "the anatomy of a thought undone", is out now on all streaming platforms.
