High-energy Blues, Latin, and Funk with a mischievous groove.

Born from the crossroads of soulful storytelling and late-night jam sessions, Tall Paul and the Naughty Cats bring a playful, hard-driving mix of modern blues swagger and Latin soul and vintage rock energy. Fronted by Tall Paul, a larger-than-life harmonica player and vocalist with a tone as raw as it is refined, the band delivers a sound that’s equal parts smoke-filled juke joint and Saturday-night dance hall.

The Naughty Cats—a crew of seasoned players with deep roots in Wisconsin’s blues and Americana scenes—lay down infectious rhythms, sultry guitar licks, and tight grooves that make crowds move from the first downbeat. Their shows are equal parts showmanship and sincerity, blending humor, heart, and serious musicianship into every performance. Whether booked as a solo artist, duo, trio or full band, Tall Paul and the Naughty Cats are sure to impress!

Bringing the Blues, Latin and rock to audiences of all ages

Drawing inspiration from artists like William Clarke, Little Walter, Big Walter, Santana, Tom Waits, Charlie Musselwhite, James Cotton, Billy Boy Arnold, George Harmonica Smith, Magic Slim, Gary Primich, RJ Mischo, and more. Tall Paul and the Naughty Cats blur the line between classic and contemporary. Their setlists pounce from gritty harmonica blues to swinging jump tunes and retro rock stompers, all laced with the band’s trademark charisma and crowd-pleasing chemistry.

The band has also been joined by a rotating lineup of special guests from the Midwest blues circuit, including powerhouse vocalist Lorenzo Thompson, whose soulful performances add a deep Chicago flavor to the mix. Collaborations with regional greats have helped the Naughty Cats expand their sound and energy—keeping every show fresh, unpredictable, and packed with standout moments that fans talk about long after the lights go down.

Whether headlining a festival stage or keeping a late-night club crowd on its feet, Tall Paul and the Naughty Cats remind audiences that live music should be fun, fiery, and just a little bit naughty.
