A special message from PAUL COLMAN
Paul Colman leaves the NEWSBOYS after three years and 284 shows!
Dear Fans and Friends,
As many of you know, in Nov 2005 I decided to join the NEWSBOYS as their guitarist. It was definitely a change for me as I had been traveling the globe performing my own music exclusively for over a decade. The invitation from my friend Peter Furler to join the band was an unexpected, but true answer to my prayers. I needed a change and a chance to get away from my own voice for a season. Sometimes in life it seems we all need a break, to re-assess our heart, mind and soul. I definitely needed that! I was not sure how it was going to happen and it was to my surprise and elation that I was led into this fabulous rock'n'roll band. When I joined, I did so with my whole heart and as far as I knew, it would be for the rest of the band's career.
After many prayers and counsel from close friends and mentors, I have decided to leave the band to continue to pursue my solo career. I am going to miss performing with and hanging out with the boys, but I am excited about the opportunities that are before me.
I have a ‘best of Paul Colman album' called HISTORY which releases Jan 27th. This album contains some of the best songs I have ever written as well as a few new songs which I recorded last year. I also have two digital EP's releasing in 2009, the first of which drops the same date as HISTORY on Jan 27 th and is entitled, “If I WAS Jesus”. I have many performances lined up throughout America, Canada, Australia and Europe in 2009/10 and these will all be posted regularly in the tour section of my website. I also have a reunion show in April at EASTERFEST in Australia with the paul colman trio (pc3). I also have a fresh batch of Paul Colman original songs being added to weekly and hope to start recording these this year.
Mostly I will be performing on my own i.e. “one voice-one guitar” and sometimes with a backing band. If you would like me to come to your church, coffee house, conference, festival or event please see the 'contact' section of my website.
My three years as a member of the newsboys were three of the best years of my life. I learnt an immeasurable amount about music, ministry and life. I am very happy to say I left with our friendships wonderfully intact. I always was, and always will be, one of the biggest newsboys fans.
