Alabama native Paul Nipper's job led him to Austin about 6 years ago. Shortly thereafter, a literal wrong turn led him to a Doug Moreland songwriters circle one night, where his passion for songwriting encouraged him to form his own band.

Nipper is currently touring in support of his second full-length record Kamikaze Heart, which comes out May 19. Paul, his guitarist Austin Lowrance, and the band's percussionist Kristopher Schoen visited the KETR studios to discuss their influences, the production of the new album, and more.

Tour dates, photos and more can be found on Paul Nipper's website. Listen to Notably Texan weekdays from 11am - 2pm on KETR,
