Paul Kaplan
Singer-Songwriter, Folk/Traditional

Veteran musician, teacher and songwriter Paul Kaplan has been an enthusiastic participant in the folk music world since the late 1960s. Since then, his original songs have been covered by such folk music greats as Jay Ungar and Molly Mason, Sally Rogers, Nickelodeon stars Sharon, Lois and Bram (“The Elephant Show”), Claudia Schmidt, Lui Collins, David Massengill, Priscilla Herdman, Len Chandler and countless others.
Paul has been honored by the inclusion of his songs in two monumental collections produced by Smithsonian Folkways: the Grammy-nominated Best of Broadside and Fast Folk—a Community of Singers & Songwriters.
As a member of the Hudson River Sloop Singers in the 1990s Paul got to know both Jon Stein and Pete Seeger. Jon recorded a beautiful version of Paul’s song “We Shall Stay Here” for Fast Folk. Pete had this to say about Paul: “I’m a big fan of Paul Kaplan. I love his singing; I love his songs.”
