The Sound Pocket

Spectrum Sound

I'm a guitarist, keyboardist, and vocalist with a varied career, including many years of jazz and classical guitar study, a two-year stint as lead guitarist in the 113th Army Band (Fort Knox, KY), study at Boston's Berklee College of Music and several decades of performances throughout Massachusetts. Along the way, I've performed in rock bands, and at folk clubs, accompanied singer/songwriters, taught piano, guitar, and drums, composed for live theater, and even enjoyed a cameo in the film 'Jaws.' These days I perform jazz classical, folk-jazz, folk-blues, bossa nova, and flamenco in a variety of venues and for special events. I would like to reach out to other areas now, in an effort to find mutual interests to my own.

Greetings good folk 
I'm a songwriter, of sorts. Living in the North West of England. A small, Victorian seaside town called Southport. Like all town's, it has its good, it has its bad, this is a song called.... Sorry, i lost myself there, for a moment. 
I'm currently working on my 2nd &amp; 3rd long players. I'm not sure which will be finished first, but then again, who really cares? 
Good luck with your musical aspirations &amp; please feel free to listen to some of mine. 
Cheers Paul
