For the in crowd starting around Milwaukee and stretching all the way down yonder to New Orleans, Paul Cebar needs no introduction. He’s been amalgamating modern versions of age-old musical strains like rhythm and blues, rock, Caribbean calypso and even outright oddities into the Cebar Sound for so long he’s surely to be anointed iconness any day now. Paul Cebar marches to the beat of his own inner vibrations, and has been highly effective in carving out enough room to boogaloo just how he wants to. With the newly fashioned Tomorrow Sound, the frontman turns up the musical blender to warp speed and attains an even higher degree of grooviness, believe it or not, melting various influences together like so many outré ingredients. Don’t be surprised if someday this man fronts his own congregation in the Church of the Mighty Bop. There is something endlessly intriguing in the way Paul Cebar confronts reality, stretching all the way back to his early band the R&B Cadets, and there is not a chance in hell he’ll ever stop. Take the C train immediately.
