Today, the Spotlight shines On singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Paul Chastain.

Paul is one half of the duo The Small Square, with drummer, percussionist, and vocalist John Louis Richardson. He is also a songwriter for and co-founder of the group Velvet Crush and has worked with Matthew Sweet, Roger McGuinn, Susanna Hoffs, the late Tommy Keene, and many others.

Paul and John released the second record from The Small Square, Ours & Others (Farm to Label Records) in October 2023. While separated by a continent and ocean (Paul lives in Japan, John in Wisconsin), they co-produced the record and created a modern sound using modern techniques rooted in classic songwriting and musicianship in The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and Big Star tradition.
