Artist History Growing up in a very musical house, Paul has been playing for whoever would listen since the age of four. Never taking the idea of music seriously enough to record or write, Paul pursued a career in engineering. More recently, Paul was a member of Bluegrass On Rye for its' four-year lifetime, and accidentally bumbled into a local "singer/songwriter" open mic on the very day that the band did end. That chance encounter led to opportunities to record on CD's of Dave Pahanish, and The Gathering Field - finally culminating in the debut CD "Pedal Hard", produced by Dave Brown.
