Paul was born in Mississippi and has been playing
music from his early teens. His early musical
influences were classic country singers such as
Ernest Tubbs, Merle Haggard, and Johnny
Cash. In his teen years, Paul and a friend
Stacy Blackwell, started the Backroads band
based out of Bay Springs, MS
(www.backroadsband.net). Backroads worked
hard perfecting their harmonies based on their
influence from Alabama, Restless Heart and
other bands. This harmony influence can be
seen in the outstanding three-part harmony
work of Earshot. Paul has played in bands in
Austin, TX, to Bay Springs, MS and Rocky
Mount, NC. Paul enjoys all types of music
including rock, blues, bluegrass, and country.
Paul has performed with Faith Perry
(now Faith Hill) and opened for entertainers
such as Marshall Tucker, Exile, Eddy Raven,
Percy Sledge, Bandana, and others.
