Paul Cauthen Cancels Shows After Drug Arrest in South Carolina

THIS STORY HAS BEEN UPDATED – Police: Multiple Drugs Found During Paul Cauthen Arrest
Paul Cauthen has cancelled his performance Friday night (5-19) in Knoxville, TN at The Concourse, as well as his appearance at Loretta Lynn’s Hurricane Mills Ranch at the Tennessee Motorcycles & Music Revival for Saturday (5-20) after being arrested for possession, manufacturing, and distribution of drugs. Cauthen’s performance on May 18th at Suck Bang Blow in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina was also cancelled, but the venue says weather was a factor in the cancellation.
Paul Cauthen was arrested on Thursday morning, May 18th in Isle of Palms, South Carolina, and charged with possession of a Schedule I controlled substance, as well as manufacturing and possession of controlled substances with the intent to distribute in Schedule I, II, and III. A bond was set at $2,275.00 for the possession charge, and $25,000.00 for the manufacturing and distribution charge. Cauthen posted the $27,275.00 bail, and was released later that day.

Paul Cauthen posted on his social media pages, “Sorry folks. Some things have happened and we won’t be making these shows unfortunately. We will go into further detail in time. God bless all of you. Be kind to one another,” but offered no further information.
Saving Country Music reached out to the publicist for Paul Cauthen for further comment. Mary Moyer states, “Paul was arrested for marijuana possession in Isle of Palms, South Carolina on Thursday morning. He is out on bond now and looks forward to telling the rest of his story soon.”
UPDATE: Paul Cauthen was also charged with possession of prescription drugs Xanax and Diazepam. Also in the bust, heroin and cocaine were found on Cauthen’s tour bus, though he was not charged for these drugs.
Saving Country Music also queried the Isle of Palms Police Department about the nature of the arrest and the specific drugs involved, but they had no further information at the time.
Originally from Texas, Paul Cauthen began his career in the duo Sons of Fathers with David Beck. The duo released two albums produced by Lloyd Maines before Cauthen started a solo career, releasing his debut album My Gospel in 2016. Since then Cauthen has become known for his billowy Johnny Cash-style voice and delivery, and most recently for infusing country music with soul and disco influences.
Called “Big Velvet” by his fans, Paul Cauthen has a history of using and selling drugs. He was arrested in high school for marijuana possession, and after violating parole, went to prison for six months. Afterwards he moved to Colorado, and claims he was part of a larger marijuana selling operation across several states, taking the money he made in the operation and re-investing it in his music career.
Paul Cauthen grew up in a religious household, and his father was a song leader in the Church of Christ.
More information if/when it becomes available.

Now hold on. You won’t review his latest album, but you’ll report on this? Lil bit sus, Trig. Just a lil bit.
May 19, 2023 @ 6:16 pm
I’ll do a quick review for you.
It stinks.
May 19, 2023 @ 6:41 pm
I respectfully disagree. It’s a lot of fun.

Respectfully, his newest album sucked. Unfortunately this is newsworthy. His new single is even worse.
May 19, 2023 @ 6:39 pm
Lots of objectively worse albums get reviews. Shanias latest? Bärf. And I know Trig n Paul have a little beef. Honestly though, I really really enjoyed his new album. A lot more than his last, actually.
May 19, 2023 @ 7:01 pm
Folks have to appreciate that I review about 120 albums a year. But even if I reviewed 120 more than that, there would still be another 120 that I still did not review. This week there were 17 albums released that I pre-screened, and selected for review consideration. I just can’t review everything.
I reported this story because it was news. Paul Cauthen has used drug arrests in the past to promote his music. His biggest song is called “Cocaine Country Dancing.” If I hated Paul Cauthen and was trying to attack him here, the joke would be on me.
May 20, 2023 @ 7:34 am
That album should not have been reviewed out of principle because I cannot imagine a world where that album, aside from one song, was made for the love of music. Frankly it makes me so freaking angry that you are made to defend yourself nearly every day from people that are either offended by something you have said or not said, regardless of intent, or people that just want me, me, me. Review this album, review that album, you don’t like someone that I like, do you like someone I don’t like, and on and on.
I recognize that this is your livelihood, but I imagine you could make more money doing some thing else and that means we simply cannot ignore the fact that so much of what you do is to positively benefit lovers of country music. These people need to realize that millennial behavior can apply to anyone and that behavior is gross.

May 19, 2023 @ 6:41 pm
It’s just weed, bro.
May 19, 2023 @ 7:32 pm
Nothing against weed at all. But it’s a Schedule 1 offense, and he also had Schedule 2 and 3 drugs on him. The article says he’s already served time for dealing. I do think there in redneckville, that it could have been just a little weed or some other form of THC, maybe a postal scale. The other charges could be as simple as a zanax. And the cash could be merch cash. A lot of if’s that he’s going to have to pay to defend himself from. He shouldn’t have gone there again. But who knows, maybe he will use it to his advantage as an outlaw semi-country star. He is extremely talented.
May 20, 2023 @ 6:13 am
Redneckville? Say you’re hipster without saying you’re a hipster. He was in Charleston, not some small backwoods town. Also, the fact he was charged with a Schedule I offense and distribution indicates he was not just in possession of a little weed. He either had a large amount of weed, or there were other drugs in his possession.
Some of here in South Carolina (Redneckville) appreciate that there are laws to keep large amounts of narcotics off our streets, even if it is just weed, or if the person in possession is a musician that people want to make excuses for.
May 21, 2023 @ 3:31 am
No. As a South Carolinian I do not appreciate our tax dollars contributing in any way to the arrest of an up and coming country singer for weed possession. It’s a bad joke, so don’t speak for South Carolina when spouting your nonsense.
May 21, 2023 @ 9:59 am
South Carolina authorities can’t even keep narcotics out of their own prisons. Check out this P&C article concerning just the Broad River prison in our state capital, Columbia. A $500 dollar bag of cannabis flowers, successfully smuggled in, could then be sold for $72,000 dollars. This has always been an issue, in all prisons, everywhere.

Yes he should.
May 19, 2023 @ 6:26 pm
Wild that weed is still a schedule 1 drug in 2023. I get that people think it should be illegal, but for it to be schedule 1 it has to have a high chance of causing addition and no medicinal benefit, both of which are provably untrue for cannabis.
May 19, 2023 @ 7:11 pm
For the record, I am not 100% certain that marijuana is all that is involved here. I will trust the publicist when she says that’s what the possession charge is. But the much bigger manufacturing/intent to distribute charge is what could get him in serious trouble, and that has Schedule 2 and 3 drugs tied to it. This could be pills, something else, or perhaps the police are trying to pile up charges on Cauthen.
Maybe Cauthen did have some sort of drug operation on him, but a lot of bands drive around with a bunch of cash for merch and other goods for merch sales that can be considered paraphernalia or a sign of “intent to distribute” by police.
There are still some details to this story that need to be revealed.
May 19, 2023 @ 7:19 pm
Thank you for the info. I’m kind of pissed cause I was supposed to go see him in Hurricane Mills, TN tomorrow. It was my birthday gift. Non refundable. And barely 24 hours before the show he announces the tour cancelled. I’d like to know what schedule 2 & 3 drug charges with intent to distribute are?
May 21, 2023 @ 10:16 am
As you said, we just don’t have [yet] all the facts about this incident. Until we do, I have no particular feeling about this. But the phrase “trust the publicist” struck me as amusing. These are folks whose entire job is to spin everything about their client to positive effect. They may not *always* lie, but how often they do lie is, I suspect, directly proportional to how often their client tends to get in trouble.
May 21, 2023 @ 10:45 am
I trust that the publicist in saying that the possession charge is for marijuana, because that would be in line with the small bail ($2,275.00) he was charged with. The big question here is the manufacturing/distribution charge. When I asked her if this was for something other than marijuana, she did not respond, though she may not know herself. In either case, this is a “trust, but verify” situation. There are questions here because we’re dealing with a tiny little police department with no way to serve the public information on the weekend, and the revelations came out after 5 pm on a Friday. All of these questions will be answered shortly.
May 21, 2023 @ 11:23 am
Makes sense.
May 19, 2023 @ 6:51 pm
Weed today isn’t the weed everyone wanted legal. The strains have higher doses of THC. Do some research, are school shootings higher since weed has been legalized. How about violence in general across the states. Division is greater, and popular music (country/rock/metal) stinks. Since weed has been legalized almost everything has gotten worse.
Sorry for the rant. I know I’ll get tons of disagreements, facts is facts though.
May 19, 2023 @ 7:10 pm
Weed has absolutely nothing to do with the current violence and school shootings. That’s a baseless, ignorant comment. Alcohol and violence yes. But neither played a part in school shootings. Geeeezzzzzzzz!

I think open carry laws and putting more and more guns on the street and worst of all allowing people with known mental illness problems buy guns has more to do with the increase in school shootings …. None of these shooting makes an mention of marijuana however they all make mention of guns
You logic is extremely faulty here
May 19, 2023 @ 7:37 pm
Holy shit, learn the difference between causation and correlation.

The American education system on display.
May 20, 2023 @ 3:17 am
“Weed today isn’t the weed everyone wanted legal.”
I hear and read this so much, and I just have to interject with some truth on that front. If you were buying weed from the Emerald Triangle in the 70’s or 80’s it was just as good or better than what is available today. However most people were stuck smoking brick weed from Mexico laced with toxic chemicals. It may have had a lower THC count, but it certainly was not healthier, or better for the general smoker. Today legal states lab test the weed being sold to consumers, and after personally seeing those lab tests I can attest to a much cleaner product. Also you can buy whatever you want at a dispensary. If you want something in the 17 to 18 percent THC level there are many variety’s such as Space Wrangler O.G. and others that will fit that bill. Or if you are a heavy smoker, with a high tolerance you can obviously buy stuff reaching into the 30 percent range. Edibles, tinctures, liquids, whatever, they all have the same selection. How is this any different from Beer vs. Whiskey drinkers? I’ve got many years working in the medical and recreational marijuana field, and the misconceptions about the industry or staggering.
May 20, 2023 @ 4:31 am
I agree. I’ve always heard people say weed was much weaker back in the day and my memories of my youth bear that out but that was here in the US at the consumer level. My father was in the Navy for years and spent a lot of time in Africa. The first time he tried the better strains of weed that started popping up on the black market in the late 90s and early 00s he was very excited because he said it was the first time he’s smoked really good tasting weed since he left Madagascar in ’78. He described marijuana being treated as a literal weed there with the government burning whole hillsides of it. While the locals dodged the flames to cram buds into garbage bags, which they then sold to American sailors for $30 a piece.
May 20, 2023 @ 9:10 am
That story’s cool as hell, your dad ought to write a book or something lol
May 20, 2023 @ 8:59 am
I had many years in the military. The amount of BS spewed by the Pentagon on progress in the middle east was staggering. Working in a field and being truthful is difficult when profits or funding drive the agenda. One would also have to look at weed that isn’t legal. It’s not tested or regulated. Legal vs illegal, I don’t know which used more by the public.
As far as beer and whiskey, they were legal long before weed so I can’t say they have made any difference in today’s society over the last decade or so. We would have to go back to the 21st amendment.
May 20, 2023 @ 9:54 pm
You can’t say that beer and whiskey have not made any difference in today’s society?! Have you seen the numbers? On average, EVERY DAY 37 people die in drunk driving deaths. In 2021 13,384 people died in alcohol impaired driving deaths. That was up 14% from 2020. GTFO here with your ill-informed weed takes.
May 20, 2023 @ 3:09 pm
Higher doses of THC mean you smoke less to get high.
May 20, 2023 @ 5:50 pm
Correlation doesn’t equal causation
May 19, 2023 @ 7:52 pm
Facts are facts? Tell me you don’t know stats without knowing stats. I can say the same argument saying since cell phone usage has gone up that shootings in schools have as well and it’s a “fact” gtfo here
May 19, 2023 @ 8:54 pm
You are right. Cell phone use has led to more teens isolating themselves and caring less about their fellow man. Smart phone use is probably more precise though. When did smart phone use become common place in schools, when did parents submit to giving kids smart phones. I think the iphone came out in ’07 so maybe 2012 smart phone use ramped up. Combine kids getting high alone and buried in their smart phone on social media…… with no real life friends. Colorado legalized weed in 2012.
But yeah, I am an idiot.
May 19, 2023 @ 9:41 pm
Just so we’re clear, its not weed causing societal rot? But some weird interaction between Weed and smartphones? If I recall correctly, Benghazi happened in 2012, that surely has to be connected in some way.

No hostility. You have no problem putting down others and are entitled to your opinion but if you start chirping at people’s right and freedoms who have no bearing on your life you’re gonna get clapped back at.
May 20, 2023 @ 6:11 pm
Brad’s a dope. Sorry but that’s the only logical explanation.
May 19, 2023 @ 7:54 pm
Yea the manufacture and distribution part of the charges are what is worrisome. Possession won’t get you a lot but those other things can involve some major time. A bummer I guess for those who wanted to see his shows.
May 19, 2023 @ 10:45 pm
You mean having a few plants and bringing enough for your buddies?
May 20, 2023 @ 9:58 am
Yea something like that.
May 22, 2023 @ 12:55 pm
His manager said the position part was for marijuana with the intent to distribute and manufacture… That’s for schedule two and three… Generally schedule two is going to be either cocaine or methamphetamine and schedule three could likely be some form of painkiller or opioid. He wasn’t just arrested with just weed. He had a wide variety of drugs. And it’s the intent to distribute and manufacture charges that could get him jail time. For them to charge him with that he would’ve had to of had large amounts and possibly a set up to make drugs like cocaine or meth.
May 19, 2023 @ 9:35 pm
You’ve written much less for bigger stories Trig. As Paul once said, Slow Down.
May 19, 2023 @ 9:52 pm
He just signed a deal with Reservoir and another company that was announced yesterday. His first couple albums were good, but his last album and recent singles are not. Not to mention the Diplo connection that is also disappointing. They’ll just spin this into his ‘outlaw’ persona which is rapidly turning into a caricature. Such a shame because he has a great voice and is very entertaining live. His earlier songs were much better and lately he seems more like a sell out. It’s working for him though I guess. And this will no doubt get him even more appreciation from those that do like his CCD era of music. Would love for him to go back to the sound from his first two albums. He could’ve been a real force in country music, but I guess he is trying for a broader audience and sacrificing quality in the process. It’ll end up being a positive for his career though. Providing another much needed layer to that ‘Big Velvet’ persona and adding to the story of it all. They’ll say he wrote his next album during this time (even though he has already recorded it) and it’ll be repeated in every bio and interview for the next four years. $27k though…yikes. Hopefully the deal he signed paid something. Ink wasn’t even dry on the check. And did they ever find out who stole his van/band’s equipment a few months back? What a mess.
May 20, 2023 @ 7:44 am
I think there is an extremely high chance that his conscious decision to start making that trash music was a miscalculation. My hope is that he sees this, understands it, and adjusts accordingly. I think he saw the relative success of cocaine country dancing and thought there might be a successful path there. I don’t know how to find album sales, but that song had 7 million YouTube views and the country as F song add 1.4, which is basically the same as Saddle and Holy Ghost Fire (which are not his best in my opinion but the point remains). I think his songwriting has some incredible high points and he could be truly great if he gets rid of his “act”
May 19, 2023 @ 10:28 pm
If this is a weed and cash possession charge, it is simply stupid. I have no opinion about the guy, but don’t destroy an artist for pot!
For those saying weed is not what “they” used to smoke …FU….it is the same!!! I grew up with the lower potency MX brick weed and it was fine. We always liked the score of the indoor sticky potent product when we could get it, but the only difference is smaller amounts led to the same place. I quit for over 20 years for whatever reason, and started smoking again in my mid 40’s. Like it for anxiety and for sleep. It is legal in my state and I enjoy it for anxiety and to help my sleep. Of course it is potent high quality cannabis.
To say it causes major social issues is simply ignorant. Leave this guy alone.
May 22, 2023 @ 1:00 pm
The thing is it isn’t just for weed. That would cover the schedule one drug that they mentioned. But when they said he manufactured and intended to distribute schedule two and three drugs… Schedule 2 is usually cocaine or meth ….& schedule three is generally opioid. He not only would’ve had to of had large amounts of those it’s some kind of set up to manufacture. The weed possession charge was nothing big… but the intent in manufacturing charges are what caused $25,000 in bond & that could result in jail time.
May 22, 2023 @ 4:08 pm
You make a good point. I guess we will see. I just saw he put out a statement stating he was arrested for weed possession. Seems strange he says weed, and is charged for Sched 2 & 3. Could he have had THC concentrate, i.e. THC vape cartridges/wax in such quantities to lead them to go large with the charge of Sched 2&3 due to their inexperience with these forms of cannabis. Not trying to justify anything, but just waiting to see before passing judgement.
If he had true Sched 2&3…Meth and Opiates…I have ZERO sympathy! That shit is destroying the once great WC state in which I live. Fentanyl is killing people much faster than the Heroin which has plagued out city for decades…..which is the smaller of the four major West Coast cities! Most have heard about it…our city used to be the quirky cool city which was great to visit. Today not so much. The state is beautiful…the city’s leaders have chosen to treat it as a lack of housing issue rather than a Fentanyl issue. It is very sad.
May 22, 2023 @ 4:13 pm
The full charges were for Xanax and Diazepam, and heroin and cocaine were also found on the bus.

Why are we still arresting people for pot? And so much red dirt and alt-country songs include weed smoking.
May 19, 2023 @ 11:29 pm
Sounds like he has been charged with drug dealing. If it’s the law and he broke it, no sympathy for him at all.

Are you suggesting it is ok for him to manufacture and deal drugs? Illicit drugs create so many problems. It is not comparable to prohibition in anyway way legally or otherwise. He doesn’t get a pass just because he can sing.
May 20, 2023 @ 1:04 pm
What you’re suggesting is that you don’t know anything at all about Prohibition. That’s what it sounded like, you being so wrong about what you said.

It really does suck. Not sure who likes this stuff
May 20, 2023 @ 8:44 am
I do not blame the people whose drugs, they need to be in a medical hospital to help them kick the habit, just throwing them in prison with rapists, and murderers does no good for them. So I am against users being arrested.
I want the dealers to be arrested. These are the people that need to be thrown in jail, and toss the key. I don’t like pot, never touched it or any other illegal substance. But at least pot does have some medical uses, so I can live with that being legal, but the hard stuff, just like guns they are made just to kill, the hard stuff only leads alot of people to over dose and kill themselves, so that stuff should stay illegal, like I said , put the users in medical facilities to help them kick the habit, the dealers need to be in prison for life, so they cannot get anyone else hooked on that crap.
May 20, 2023 @ 8:52 am
Police and DA’s will always slap on “manufacturing” and intent to distribute charges in addition to possession, if they can. Civil asset forfeiture proceedings will necessarily follow, and they will take any cash and property they can get their hands on. This will take place in civil, not criminal, court. Be interesting to see what IOP ends up with acquiring as a result of this arrest.
May 20, 2023 @ 1:37 pm
Hopefully this will be a wake up call for Paul. He is going down a dangerous path. A path wrought with bad musical decisions.
I get he was trying to tap into a little of that bro country vibe and maybe get some hits or a bigger audience. I thought his first two solo albums were great and still have that vibe while not being absurd. The new music isn’t listenable.
May 20, 2023 @ 2:15 pm
Well, if nothing else, this situation has inspired me to revisit Ward Davis’ live album which was the direct result of his cannabis arrest in Hays, Kansas. That guy is hilarious. I’ve seen him live twice; the first time he walked up to me and slapped me on the back, and the second time he gifted me his guitar pick and the end of the show (lame post COVID audience sitting at tables, I was actually standing up front leading the charge). Also been listening to his new ep – nice pedal steel on that one.
May 20, 2023 @ 4:27 pm
This plays into Paul’s “outlaw” status, which is about as authentic as American cheese. The thing is, drug use today is not viewed the same as drug use was 40 years ago. What was once – rightly – viewed as negative behavior is now celebrated across society. The fact that a solid chunk of artists use drugs makes the counterpoint of not doing drugs the true “outlaw” thing to do.
May 20, 2023 @ 4:39 pm
End of the day most here disagree with me. Already knew that would happen. Very hostile responses prove me right. It’s all good though, I am used to being in the minority, I like being right.
Let’s go look at the country charts. Take a look at popular opinion there.
Country Top 50
Last Night. Morgan Wallen.
Fast Car. Luke Combs.
Something in the Orange. Zach Bryan.
You Proof. Morgan Wallen.
Thinkin’ Bout Me. Morgan Wallen.
Wasted On You. Morgan Wallen.
The Kind of Love We Make. Luke Combs.
Rock and A Hard Place. Bailey Zimmerman
Yep, just what I thought
May 20, 2023 @ 4:59 pm
How do those Morgan wallen songs appeal to anyone? I can’t figure it out. Sounds like shit with horrible computer drumbeats to me.
May 20, 2023 @ 6:18 pm
He isn’t hurting anyone. Probably loaded up to make it through the tour. Let big velvet party, most entertaining show I’ve seen in the last 5 years.
Living the life he sings about, unlike other “country” “singers” like Chris Jansen who sings about not buying a boat but can buy beer. This just ups his credibility.
May 20, 2023 @ 11:11 pm
Bottom line we don’t know. However, weed is a schedule one narcotic. Insanity of the highest order. Music is an all cash business. Conceivably a roach clip and some papers and merchandise/ gig cash could cause something like this. Just chill and see what’s next.
May 21, 2023 @ 7:14 am
So…charges = guilt?
May 21, 2023 @ 7:27 am
I’m certainly not saying that. I don’t even know the drugs that Paul Cauthen is being charged for possession/manufacturing/distribution for, let alone the circumstances. I think we all need to be a little patient, and wait for more information to come out. Isle of Palms, South Carolina isn’t exactly a teeming metropolis with a 24-hour public information office, and I’m sure at some point Paul will be issuing a statement as well.
May 21, 2023 @ 9:32 am
Sounds like a mess. I’ll stay here where the weed is legal and let the yahoos mess with other drugs.
May 21, 2023 @ 10:29 am
