Paul Wells provided excellent entertainment at multiple events for my healthcare organization from 2010 through 2020. Always on time, very organized, & willing to "go with the flow" when our systems may not have been so accommodating. Example: for one outdoor event, we had difficulty running a cable for his equipment in the location we had placed him. Paul went out of his way to help get everything set up & started his performance on time. Wonderful voice, excellent guitar skills, & a great sense of humor when interacting with his audience. An extensive song list ensures something for everyone. People love him! Although I am now retired, I continue to seek Paul out when looking for outstanding entertainment.

I’ve booked Paul for 10 + years for casino work in the Valley. His versatility as an artist and charismatic demeanor help keep a crowd engaged all night. His talent, professionalism and ability to read a crowd deems him a perfect fit for any gig. 10/10

Paul Wells was recommended by a couple other Entertainers way back in 2021. I followed up and hired Paul Wells to entertain on our stage at Mesa Market Place on a regular basis. He delivers good vocals, great guitar, and upbeat music. He's a Pro. Always on time. Always resourceful. Always positive. And can play most requests. I publish an entertainment schedule for our Shoppers, and they show up when he performs. I highly recommend you give him a listen and a try.

My wife and I have been fans of Paul for some number of years. When it was time for me to retire, we decided to host a party at our house and asked Paul to provide the entertainment. As usual, Paul provided a great selection of relevant songs, expertly played with great vocals, satisfied requests, and impressively changed the tenor of the songs to a more mellow selection while the meal was served. A number of our guests made remarks about how impressive Paul was and hopefully they've become fans like us.
Singing Guitarist
Paul is not only a talented musician and singer with a wide variety of songs, but is also very professional, prompt, and has a great rapport with his audiences. He was able to work on many projects with my company and I would hire him anytime he was available.
