Having shared the stage with such names as Kansas, The Temptations and The Ragamuffin Band, to name a few, Paul’s music is just as widely diverse and broadly accepted, as it is familiarly personal.
From the highest of highs to the lowest of lows, you can definitely hear a progressive, percussive, soulful blend of jazz and folk in his music.
