Subject: “When I’m Raw From Something I Saw” – Paper Gun Operetta & PianoKeynote for Fundraising
Dear Fundraiser,
Following our recent conversation, I’d like to introduce you to Paul Tosh a Scottish-born, USA-based traveling singer, pianist, and songwriter, known for his emotive performances and eclectic style. Please click here to see Paul’s EPK where he has his latest music and performance videos. https://www.paultosh.com/epk
Paul’s work lives at the crossroads of theatre and music, somewhere between a concert and a play. A certified one-man act with a wealth of experience blending jazz, classical, folk, traditional, and contemporary genres, he incorporates live piano looping and improvisation to make every performance unique.
Audiences often remark on the atmosphere Paul creates from the opening sequence, creating anticipation and mystery about what he is going to do next. His shows keep people fully present, with many saying, “You don't know this but with the other entertainer's people tiptoe out, with you they tiptoe in.” This connection inspires word-of-mouth buzz and loyal audiences that return to enjoy the experience Paul provides time and time again.
Alongside powerful interpretations of others’ work, Paul’s original songs stand out so much so that audiences frequently request them. His two released volumes (Artists Vol 1 and Vol 2) showcase his strength as a songwriter and his ability to craft music that feels both relatable and memorable.
A signature work, the operetta PAPER GUN (http://www.papergun.net/operetta), explores vulnerability and the human condition. Described vividly as “Last night made me feel like pre-WWII era of the arts in society! Loved it” it offers a personal yet universal experience. More importantly, Paul’s performances are not tied to political views but instead create space for empathy and conversation—making them well-suited to civic, bipartisan, and diplomatic settings. Paul is simply a magician on the piano with a soothing voice that's able to move crowds of all demographics far and wide.
Paul’s performances weave together timeless songs by Frank Sinatra, Billy Joel, Neil Diamond and The Beatles, with his own heartfelt original works. He combines classical skill with soulful storytelling, using piano looping and improvisation to create concerts that feel both prayerful and celebratory. His artistry carries a rare depth, reminding audiences of music’s ability to bring peace, joy, and connection through captivating melodies. Paul is simply a magician on the piano with a soothing voice that is able to move crowds of all demographics far and wide. His original artistry does carry some similarity in his original writing to indie artists likeRegina Spektor, as well as influences from mainstream artists he can also cover.
Paper Gun as a Fundraising Centerpiece
For fundraising events, Paper Gun offers more than entertainment, it creates a shared transformative experience that moves people emotionally and inspires generosity. The intimacy and narrative arc of the operetta help attendees connect more deeply with one another and with your cause, setting the ideal tone for gala dinners, donor evenings, and civic fundraising events where the goal is not only to raise funds but to leave guests deeply touched, connected, and motivated to give.
Complementary Offering — A PianoKeynote Session (Donor Cultivation)
In addition to Paper Gun, Paul offers A PianoKeynote an intimate program grounded in his ethos: “Key, as in piano keys, and retreat, as in returning to oneself.”This format blends performance, storytelling, and guided reflection to create a quieter, contemplative experience ideal for small-group donor cultivation, VIP receptions, leadership breakfasts, or pre/post-gala salons. Through song, spoken word, and moments of silence-friendly contemplation, Paul helps participants slow down, realign with values, and form emotional connections to your mission—making donors more likely to engage and give. The PianoKeynote is fully customizable to fit short VIP sessions or longer, facilitator-led gatherings that support stewardship and deeper relationship-building.
Both offerings Paper Gun for the main stage and PianoKeynote for intimate donor touchpoints work together to create a fundraising arc: move the room, deepen commitment, then cultivate long-term support through meaningful, personal engagement.
If you’re seeking a performance and engagement strategy that will elevate your fundraising efforts and create lasting impact, I’d be glad to explore how Paul can partner with you. Please feel free to reach out to discuss dates, logistics, formats (main performance, VIP sessions, or both), and how these offerings can be tailored to your organization’s goals.
