Born and raised in Port-au-Prince, Paul comes from a remarkable artistic lineage: he is the son of Grammy-nominated band Boukman Eksperyans and the grandson of legendary Haitian comedian Languichatte. A celebrated artist in his own right, Beaubrun blends soulful vocals, masterful guitar playing, and innovative arrangements, weaving Haitian Creole, French, and English into a sound that bridges roots, rock, and Afro-Caribbean spiritual traditions. Since 2022, he has also toured internationally with Arcade Fire, bringing his distinctive musicianship to audiences around the world. Released August 28, 2026, VERTIÈRES takes its name from the historic 1803 Battle of Vertières, the decisive victory that secured Haiti’s independence. Drawing on this legacy of liberation, Beaubrun creates music that connects ancestral wisdom with the present and reminds us that the pursuit of freedom is never confined to history. Arts at the Armory serves delicious locally sourced food and drink at the Performance Hall bar when doors open (usually one hour before the show).
