Paul Dyason

A dear friend and recurrent performer at The Winter Solstice, Paul Dyason is another talented homegrown songwriter and co-lead singer for beloved Albury band The Northern Folk. Paul’s contemplative, honest, and nuanced lyricism is a hallmark of his songs for both his independent project and for his band. We look forward to welcoming Paul back for a solo performance at this year’s Solstice.
