Las Los is the exciting new collaboration between Paul Schalda (Paul & The Tall Trees, The Sha La Das) and Max Shrager (The Shacks). The two first met as members of the late soul icon Charles Bradley's touring band in 2015.  Shrager, who was 19 years old at the time, had already established himself as an up and coming figure in the New York music scene, having penned the lead single, "Sinner," on gospel legend Naomi Shelton's 2014 “Cold World” LP (Daptone Records). He continued to build his resume as a founding member of The Shacks, producing their records in collaboration with Leon Michels (El Michels Affair). In 2020, Shrager relocated from NYC to Los Angeles, where he collaborates with some of the best young musicians in the California scene, including Thee Sacred Souls and Brainstory. Schalda- an NYC native who moved to Dallas, TX in 2017- records and performs his solo work as Paul & The Tall Trees (Big Crown Records).  He is also a core member of The Sha La Das (Daptone Records). With The Sha La Das, Schalda has arranged and performed spectacular, soaring backing vocal arrangements on the records of artists including Charles Bradley, Lee Fields & The Expressions, and Lady Wray. Not unlike Charles Bradley, Schalda’s voice is instantly recognizable and strikingly vulnerable. A master craftsman of lyrics and melody, Schalda brings a literary sensibility to his writing. Las Los’ forthcoming debut album will be available soon.
