Paper Garden

The Paper Garden was an American psychedelic rock band formed in New York City in 1967. After gathering a sizable following in the Northwest, the group recorded their only album, The Paper Garden, in 1968, which promoted several styles ranging from complex orchestration to hard-edged psychedelia. Following its release, the recordings have since become considered one of the more accomplished artistic statements from the psychedelic era. Formed in 1967, the Paper Garden consisted of members Joe Arduino, Sandy Napoli, Paul LoGrande, Jimmy Tirella, and John Reich. With varying talents as multi-instrumentalists, three capable singers, and accomplished songwriters in Arduino, Napoli, and LoGrande, the band almost effortlessly was able to expand upon the complex instrumentals found in the Beatles' Revolver and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The Paper Garden toured all along the Northeast coast, establishing several pockets of followers in local college campuses. In 1968, the group garnered the interest of record producer Geoff Turner, who was working for Aaron Schroeder's New York-based Musicor Records.
