January 9, 2022Amazing wedding ceremony
Paul is a very talented guitarist and singer. We found him last minute to perform at our wedding ceremony, and he learned the song we wanted to walk down the aisle to. He was very professional and made our ceremony very special. We highly recommend him!

What to expect
I have years of experience in many different performance situations. I take my craft seriously and understand that I am providing a service for you, your clients or guests.
About
If Flat and Scruggs were to somehow have a love child with Jimmy Page, and that child was adopted by a band of gypsy carpenters who spent their evenings in deep conversations about love, life, God, and the best stout, and then that child fell in love with the tone and feel of the acoustic guitar, that child's music would sound a lot like mine. At least that's what I like to tell myself.
What I have been attempting for many years now is to meld the things that I like about rock, bluegrass, soul, and folk into a unique sound that could reasonably be played anywhere with or without electricity. So I try hard to stick with acoustic instrumentation. One of my favorite dreams would be to set up deep along some wilderness trail and put on a show for the hikers.
You won't hear any Marshal stacks in my tunes, not that I don't think they are awesome, it's just not what I do. The music is on the quiet side of things. Though if you want to dance to it, you can and I'd be quite thrilled.

Influences and inspiration
Originally my biggest influence was the music coming out of Laurel Canyon back in the late 60's early 70's. Modern groups like The Duhks, Allison Krause, Nickel Creek, Punch Brothers, are groups that I have kinship with.
Setup requirements
I have all the sound equipment I need for any of the combinations you are interested in. If you want lighting you will need to provide that.
