About

Possessed by Paul James is the stage name of Konrad Wert, a one-man folk and roots powerhouse known for his explosive, foot-stomping live performances. Born in Immokalee, Florida, and raised in a Mennonite community, Wert began his musical career in 2005 while maintaining a full-time career as a special education teacher and advocate. His music blends fiddle, banjo, guitar, and a stomp box into a raw, spiritual sound that explores themes of family, social justice, and human struggle. His albums, such as 'There Will Be Nights When I'm Lonely' (2013) and 'As We Go Wandering' (2020), have achieved significant acclaim, including reaching the top of the Billboard Bluegrass charts. Though based in Texas, he is a staple of the national underground roots circuit and has been featured in Wisconsin-based publications like Maximum Ink.
