Paul Byrne
Guitarist Paul Byrne began playing guitar at age 9 when his sister brought a nylon stringed folk guitar home from college. While growing up in Montclair, NJ, he listened to and began absorbing the popular music of the day. He learned songs by the Bealtles, the Allman Brothers, Cream and Hendrix by ear, patiently transcribing music from a turntable. As a teen he began studying guitar formally with Bob Wilson. Bob recommended two albums which had a lasting impact on Paul's taste and direction: Portraits of Duke Ellington by Joe Pass and Concierto by Jim Hall. Paul began studying jazz guitar with Bob and continued studying while pursuing a BA in classical guitar performance. While in school, he began working with Max & Ira Stone. Paul currently performs throughout the Northeast and has performed hundreds of shows over the years.
