John McNulty and the Dimestore

Sometimes deeply romantic, sometimes country rock, but always with lyrics that tell stories, McNulty and his band the Dimestore make the songs come first. This American French folk rock band have been playing live in Paris since the early 2000s. With John McNulty (screenwriter and author) at the helm with vocals and his compositions, the music is supported by a French/British cast of musicians making the sound come alive.

The band consists of drummer Frederic Stiefel, Bassist David Weeks (co producer of their latest record UP ALL NIGHT ) and Rodric Yates on Electric Guitars. While their earlier offerings were more folk singer songwriter inspired with John McNulty and his tenor voice at the front, the latest offerings have seen the Dimestore veering out into soul, New Orleans and 70's rock directions with the collaboration of more artists playing varied instruments.

One listen to UP ALL NIGHT can take you from the New Orleans joyous funeral celebration of a man celebrating all his ex lovers in BRING ALL MY LOVERS BACK TO ME to the soul infused rocker DRINK YOUR WINE ALONE. The album's title track is at once a tale of a heavy break up and a soulful rocker in the bargain.

In 2024, the band has been scoping out ever more adventurous directions with a heavier rock sound and a new parallel project with their British counterpart permutation: Roy -- Cassette Dive.
