Paul McDonald & the Mourning Doves

Paul McDonald & the Mourning Doves
Saturday, February 28
Doors: 12 pm // Show: 8 pm
Born in Alabama and baptized in the dive bars of the southeast, Paul
McDonald first made noise with the Grand Magnolias, a roots-rock
outfit, before catching fire in the public eye during American Idol’s 2011
run.

When the bright lights blurred and the cameras turned, the man behind
the voice slipped into the shadows where he did what real artists do: He
lived, he lost, and he wrote. Retreating to Nashville, that holy city of
reinvention, Paul stitched himself back together with worn boots, hard
songs, and a new band called The Mourning Doves.

Now, in 2025, the giant has stirred the release of “So Long to the Dark
Side” – a gospel tinged reckoning wrapped in cosmic Americana and lit
with songs that sound like they were scribbled on the edge of a
breakdown and sung back from the brink. Raised on Petty, Parsons, and
pain, Paul McDonald is not chasing trends, he’s conjuring something
older and truer. His live performances are equal parts revival and rock
séance.
