Back again with a very experienced composer for TV, Film, and Ads for your consideration!  Paul Fonfara is a full-time composer and multi-instrumentalist (clarinet as the primary instrument) known for his spaghetti-Western, Klezmer, and Eastern European styles and silent film scores.  He was also a member of the famous band DeVotchKa.
Bio:
A transplant to Minneapolis from Denver, where after finishing a degree in music studying Clarinet, Fonfara got his start in DeVotchKa, then moved on to record and tour internationally with 16 Horsepower/Woven Hand and with Jim White on David Byrne’s Luaka Bop label. When Fonfara settled in Minneapolis 9 years ago, his well-honed and exploratory talents were immediately recognized as he became a member of local favorites Spaghetti Western String Co., balancing the precision and delicacy of that band with the raucous playfulness of the Brass Messengers, and silent movie film scores of Dreamland Faces.

A blend of klezmer music and gypsy jazz, 'Bohemians' is an acoustic album with a playful, quirky sound, comic elements and a mix of acoustic instruments, including woodwinds, strings and brass.
