The Paperboys (sometimes billed and credited as Tom Landa and the Paperboys) are a Canadian folk music band from Vancouver that formed in
1991. The Paperboys blend Celtic folk with bluegrass, Mexican, Eastern European, African, zydeco, soul and country influences. The band has
had a variety of members and line-ups since its original formation, with Landa remaining as the sole founding member, although veteran
banjoist/bassist Cam Salay often returns as a guest performer. Known for consistently creating pop songs with melodic hooks, their music has
been called versatile, with a wide range of influences, melding diverse musical influences more successfully than some other Irish rock bands
have previously.
