His musical career started in the early 1970s with a band called "Brown Sugar", which played numerous West Coast gigs.

In 1976, he and guitarist Jim Mesi formed the Paul deLay Blues Band, which performed well into the 1980s.

The band also recorded several albums during that time.

By the late 1980s, deLay was suffering from alcohol and cocaine addiction.

1990

In 1990, he was arrested for drug trafficking, and served a 41-month prison sentence.

He performed in Prison in Walla Walla with Michael Morey of Seattle's Alleged Perpetrators on bass.

While he was incarcerated, his band continued without him, performing as the "No deLay Band" and featuring longtime Portland blueswoman Linda Hornbuckle as lead vocalist in lieu of deLay.

Upon his release from prison, deLay (now clean and sober) rejoined the band and recorded a series of critically acclaimed albums.
