Michael Chapman was a hero and friend to so many, including us, moving with unmatched grace, vigor, and gruff humor within and beyond his songs and those he inspired from others. We are devastated to hear of his passing today. It was truly an honor working with him on his final two studio albums, “50” and “True North.” Words are failing us right now, but we’ll share more soon. Until then, here are some of his own, from his parable “The Prospector” on “50.” Raise a glass of red, tell a story about him, and keep listening. Goodbye, my friend.

Our friend David Lee, whose work was the subject of the very first Paradise of Bachelors release, passed away this weekend. David was an inspiring songwriter, musician, producer, and entrepreneur; a steadfast supporter of other artists; and an exceedingly caring, gentle person. Without his story we might not be doing the work we do; the label might not exist.
