O’s Notes: Paula has a big voice that projects across the entire stage. She’s not bashful as she takes us through fourteen original compositions with hints of blues, Latin, jazz and soul. We liked the combinations on “All Because You Came My Way” with nice work on guitar by Rob Pilch and the harmonized blues of “What You Don’t Know”. She takes it down a notch on “It’s In Love That The Heart Can See”, one several ballads later in the set. Shear is a very dramatic performer.
