Following long recovery & cleansing PF returned to NYC's Antifolk scene and befriended a new breed of artists (The Moldy Peaches/Kimya Dawson, Regina Spektor, Langhorne Slim, and Nellie McKay among others). Paleface became a major source of influence and inspiration to many of them. After finishing a record with his band Just About To Burn which featured drummer Monica 'Mo'

Samalot, PF met The Avett Brothers...who fell in love with it 'My favorite all-time record by a friend' (Seth Avett, June 07).

Paleface often shares the stage with The Avetts, and his vocals, instrumentation, and songwriting are featured on two of their records. The Avett Brothers returned the favor and guest-performed on Paleface's new record, 'A Different Story', which released Jan 08. The duo is currently working on a follow-up....Please stay tuned....
