Following the sold-out Manhattan-based concert series The Papering Sessions, a successful digital album release, and the launch of the online docu-series Off the Wall, the much-anticipated album release party for Blake Pfeil's debut album Wallpaper will paper the walls of Dixon Place on Manhattan's Lower East Side on Monday, January 26 at 7:30 PM.

The evening will feature of an acoustic set of Mr. Pfeil's songs from Wallpaper, as well as a screening of episodes from Off the Wall, the Roo McGoo-produced docu-series that chronicles the making of Wallpaper.

Wallpaper is the freshman effort from folk/pop, NYC-based singer-songwriter Blake Pfeil. After a wildly successful crowd-funding campaign, Wallpaper was recorded at DeGraw Sound in Brooklyn, NY. It serves as a musical travelogue to Mr. Pfeil's first year of sobriety. Wallpaper saw its worldwide release on November 11, 2014 and is available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, and several other online music retailers. Its companion online docu-series, Off the Wall, was produced by Roo McGoo and debuted in November on YouTube. Through a theatrical kaleidoscope, Mr. Pfeil's unique sound hovers the fence between pop and folk, and it balances a razor-sharp, rhythm-based sound (that has been compared to the likes of Ben Folds, Jamie Cullum, and Bruce Hornsby) with lyrics that explore a poignant charm, often compared to the storytelling focus of Joni Mitchell and Don Henley and the wit and depth of Sara Bareilles and David Bowie.

The album release party will be produced by Sara Deviney and Dixon Place, New York's premiere experimental performance venue, and it is free to the general public. Space is limited, so an early arrival is recommended.
