Paul Elwood, Guitarist:
Guitarist Paul Elwood has played at venues around the tri-state area for more than a decade. Paul’s repertoire includes many standards from the Great American Songbook and also features tunes from the days when “jazz” and “pop music” were synonymous. Enjoy an eclectic mix of classic and current popular, blues, country and rock tunes!

Paul studied at Berklee School of Music online under Boston-based guitarist and instructor David Newsam and privately with noted NJ guitarist John LaGreca. He performs regularly with pianist Patrick Kerssen and Arturo Baguer as the vocalist/guitarist for the Paul Elwood Trio. An avid guitarist and guitar/music instructor, Paul’s dad Johnnie got him started with Travis-style guitar as a pre-teen and he’s been trying to get better at it ever since (a half-century and counting). He plays electric, acoustic & classical guitar, ukulele, harmonica and clarinet. When he’s not working as a musical entertainer, Paul also gives private fingerstyle guitar lessons in-person and online.

I'll typically bring any PA equipment I might need. I like to get to the gig in enough time to set up and sound check.
