He remembers finding someone’s copy of Bob Dylan’s Highway 61 Revisited. In a few days, he memorized the lyrics to "Desolation Row." It was the moment when he realized songs aren’t just tunes with words: they’re worlds to be inhabited fully, filled with strange characters, unexpected emotions, and lessons to be learned.
Three decades and several hundred songs later, Paul Weinfield is still at work. The trajectory of his musical career has hardly been linear. A two-time survivor of cancer, he’s faced a lot of setbacks, which inform the themes of his music.
Weinfield’s first albums (2005-2013) were released under the pseudonym “Tam Lin,” a nod to his love of folklore and magic. He then collaborated with singer-songwriter Danny Musengo in Fairytales For the Fatherless (2014-2018). The two joined David Block (The Human Experience) in founding Gone Gone Beyond, a “future-folk” project combining electronic and folk sounds.
Since 2018, Weinfield has been releasing music under his own name: Music Is People (2019), Things I Should Have Told Myself Long Ago (2020), and miscellaneous singles. His latest album, Love Songs From the Tree of Life, is due out later in 2022.
In addition to being a musician, Weinfield is a meditation teacher and spiritual author, and Buddhism informs a lot of his songwriting. He likes to say that music and meditation are really just one thing: listening to the voices in his head and learning to find a place for them in this world.
