Tall Paul & His Honky-Tonk Guitar
Tall Paul was professional and very talented. Our attendees at our annual conference very much enjoyed his show. Great job!
Tall Paul entertained our community - Sunrise of Palos Park for our picnic on the porch. Paul was outstanding. He engaged not only our community residents but also our famililes, visitors, and team. He music touched us and his range was excellent. He treated us with country music both old and new. We will most definately have him entertain our community again. We would most definately recommend Tall Paul for musical entertainment.
We had Tall Paul come out for our Derby Day celebration. He sang and played guitar for our VIP party and joined the blue grass jam session with his upright base during the main part of the event. He is a very talented musician and singer and we made the right choice to book him. He is also very accommodating, timely, and a really nice guy.
I contacted Tall Paul around 9pm on a Friday night to fullfill a wild idea I had which was to have our clients at our fitness club serenaded. Well Paul said yes immediately. I gave him all the details and he arrived on time and ready to perform. He was awesome and put on a great show. Everyone got into it. I would highly recommend him!
Paul is a very talented entertainer and provides a mix of country and country rock music that makes for a great evening. Get out and see this great talent and hear some great music!
