For our wedding reception we did a brunch. Paul showed up early and had everything all set up and ready for guests to arrive! He was very accommodating and his set list was phenomenal :) Paul was full of smiles! The flow was just right ❤️

Paul was great. From the time he came early to set up, through the last song, he was wonderful. He even tailored some of the songs to my business as well. He was also friendly, and genuinely appreciative to be there, something that is lacking in others these days. Asked what type of music I liked and took plenty of request from my clients.
Can't say enough good things about Paul, other than HIRE HIM!!!!

We hired Paul for my mother's 80th Birthday party. He was Fantastic, such a great voice. He takes requests too. He played a perfect mix of music and had people and kids dancing. Everyone at the party, as they were all leaving, commented on how great the music was. He also had a drummer, Travis, who was fantastic too. I'm so happy they were able to play for our party. Thanks guys for the totally Awsome music you provided for us. We loved it.

Paul performed for our Country Club, and every person in the room was over the moon excited to have him. His personality and obvious talent provided a memorable experience for our members. Looking forward to having him again. Thank you, Paul!!

Response from Paul Fournier:
Thank you, Alyssa! I had a blast! I’m glad you and the guests did too. Looking forward to performing for you again soon : )
Paul Fornier has played with us on several occasions over the last year. He is very personable, professional and engaging with the guests. Quite the delight to have in any establishment. Good vibes all the way around!
One Man Band
I've had the pleasure of seeing Paul perform several times and have never been disappointed. He is a very talented performer and has a lot of fun with the audience. His set list is very broad and he plays music everyone likes.

We had our annual company seminar/networking event where we invite our top business associates and staff to celebrate our partnerships & ventures. We couldn’t have asked for a better musician and MC than Paul! He was extremely professional and his performance carried a great energy throughout the event providing an elegant ambience, danceable classics and a host that allowed us to loosen up and really enjoy each others company. Music has a way of bringing people together and It’s certainly true, especially with Paul on the gig!
Thank you, Paul, for making this a party our team will be talking about all year 🙏🏼

I was lucky enough to be bartending at craft growlers to go when Paul was performing, we had him as a reoccurring live musician for multiple reasons! Paul attracted so many regulars on his night, not only was it good for bringing in revenue for our business but it was always a really fun night to look forward to! I remember the bar being fill with such diversity those nights. From 20 something year olds to 60+ he had everyone singing along.
It’s very evident that he enjoys what he’s doing and he exudes it to his audience. i’ve truly never seen an artist be able to read a room, connect, and match energy as well as Paul does (on and off stage).

10/10 would hire again for any future events. Trusted Paul with the biggest day of our life (our wedding) and he absolutely nailed it! Checked every box we could think of. So easy to work with and understanding of the needs we had for the days leading up to and the day of. Seemingly well versed in every genre he played and couldn't thank him enough for the entertainment he provided for our friends and families. Plays from the heart and it shows.

I’ve hired Paul for several events and always get phenomenal feedback! Paul performed for our wedding in November 2021. He performed as we walked down the aisle, the cocktail hour, and performed with his 3-piece band for the reception. Guests were amazed that he could add the perfect romantic heartfelt ambience for the pre-ceremony then could switch effortlessly to his full band where he kept the dance floor pumping with danceable selections spanning from the 60s-current pop hits during the reception. He is truly a professional on and off stage too. He was extremely easy to communicate with during the planning process and had several suggestions that helped turn our dream wedding into a reality. The day of the wedding, He showed up early to setup his gear before guests arrived and was like family when communicating with my guests before, during and after the event.
I also hired Paul for a house party in February 2021 where he performed by our pool. He entertained our guests all night by taking requests, had fun witty banter in between songs, and again felt like family. It’s obvious that he cares just as much about his performance as he does the audience that he performs for. No doubt I will hire Paul again and AGAIN!
Thank you, Pauly!

Paul has great shows and has so much talent! You can really tell he loves what he does buy the way he gets lost in his music. It’s great how he makes a point to interact with people listening. Amazing voice and guitar talent, all around great guy!

I've seen Paul play many times to this point and rarely miss an opportunity when I know he's in my area... he's one of those special musicians that you know stays in it for the love of the game and not the paycheck! I'm always left having felt a connection to the music, and that's the real stuff!
Acoustic Band, Singing Guitarist
Paul is a very talented musician that always puts on an entertaining show! His vocals leave you stunned and are accompanied by matching guitar skills. Whether he is performing his solo acoustic act or in his band wild root he will have you captivated and on the edge of your seat wanting more. His witty banter keeps the crowd feeling involved as well and create a great connection with the venue.

Wowww.... Paul never disappoints in his selection of music he plays. It's Fresh as he puts his own twist of Funk, rock or jazz depending on his literal stage & platform. Be it at a local Pub for an intimate feel or more exciting, recently, At Tampa's HARDROCK MainStage playing Prince & U2 getting everyone on their feet was FUN!
His experience with so many seasoned musicians in NYC, St. Pete & elsewhere has only tickled his palette of songs to play.
I also appreciate his generosity in sharing the stage wherever he is, be it instrumental or vocally. He Leads, teaches, encourages others in music. (We Can All do this with our talents..amen?)
As a multi- instrumentalist he always plays with sincerity & confidence.
Paul is a delite to have for anycasual Private party or a Grand special occasion!
2022 will launch him to a different level. Keep your Eye's on this one, 941+!
He's got the X Factor &
He's only getting better !
Play On Paulie!

My husband and I hired Paul for our wedding. He was solo for the ceremony and then had his band for the reception. They did a phenomenal job! Everyone was out on the dance floor! Even grandma! We still hear comments about our wedding and everyone still says the band was what killed it! Thanks again to Paul and he crew! Y’all made our day so special!

I tour nationally and have performed over 2,500+ shows and events. It's been a great ride so far! 😁🙌
My passion is connecting with people and giving them the exact essence they're seeking so we can curate experiences that we'll never forget! I come from a small town called Bradenton, FL, and have lived and toured in some of the biggest cities on the East Coast of the US. This has allowed me to be versatile and take the best of both worlds, the raw and real small-town experiences met with big-city life. Before moving to NYC, I taught music in public schools and have always had a heart for leading and teaching people about what they're passionate about. Seeing people light up when you connect with them on their passions means the world to me!
