It's the first day after winter break at East High. The Jocks, Brainiacs, Thespians and Skater Dudes all find their cliques.

Basketball team captain and resident jock, Troy, discovers that the brainy Gabriella, a girl he met singing karaoke on his ski trip, has just enrolled at East High.

With a voice and perspective that seems beyond his 27 years, and a collection of honest, heartfelt songs that mirror and connect with an audience, Paul Armer is a singer-songwriter that deserves to be heard. Taking inspiration from the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Billy Strings, Jason Isbell and Sturgill Simpson, his sound resides where these influences meet.
