We hired Paul James to play at our annual block party and fundraising event. Paul is very professional, friendly, and easy to work with; most importantly he sounded awesome and had a fantastic playlist! Paul James was the perfect performer for our event, and we would have no hesitation in booking him again. Thanks again, Paul, you ROCK!

Response from Paul James:
It's always a pleasure playing for you guys. Such and Awesome group! Always feels like family!
Paul adds the perfect touch to our ambiance, with an intrinsic awareness of “reading the room” and what’s needed in the moment. His selection of covers keeps our customers entertained (and ordering more drinks). Some people know how to play music, a select few are actual musicians…Paul is a true professional musician..I highly recommend.

About
Making music has always been at the top of list of passions. I began on the guitar when I was in the 5th grade in a little town in Southern Minnesota. Over the years I’ve played in my share of garage & basement bands. In my teens, I played and toured a couple years with the high school singing group …from there, I went on to play through my college years at various schools, retreats and Summer camps.
The style of music I play has changed a bit since then, but strumming & singing has always been, and continues to be, a huge part of my life.
These days, between playing in my classic rock cover band (The Mongrels) and periodically at church, I book solo gigs, performing around Arizona and in the Phoenix & East Valley areas.
Introduce yourself at an upcoming show... Let's hang out and have a great time groovin' and singin' along to some classic hits!!
Additional Booking Notes
I just need a outlet to plug into and if we're going to be outdoors, a easy-up tent or overhang in case of rain :-)
