The Paperboys are renowned for their energetic live performances and have wowed festival goers the world over.

Nowadays, they dig deep into Tom’s Mexican heritage and his richly expressive vocals are backed by a combination of whistle, flute, banjo, percussion, guitar and the jarana, a small Mexican guitar.
