The Paul Finley Session

Before I was introduced to the music of Paul Finley, I would have told you that lyrics are the most important part of a song.   Now I say that lyrics sometimes aren't necessary at all---especially if the person behind the guitar is Paul Finley.  Paul can spin a yarn without speaking one single word.  He paints the most vivid pictures through each strum...every rhythm...every note.  If you close your eyes when you listen, you will be certain you're listening to band of guitars instead of only one.  When Paul Finley plays for you,  you don't miss words.  They simply aren't needed.

A Wisconsin native,  Paul made his way south some 14 years ago.  Based out of Austin,  he has conducted clinics all over the world.  He is a former faculty member of the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music. He has played in venues large and small, with musicians well-known and little-known, but you get the distinct feeling that none of that really matters much to Paul.  A more humble human being you'll likely never find.   It seems that Paul has this music thing figured out.   It really is just about playing us a song.

On a beautiful December afternoon in Llano, Texas,  Paul dropped by Agape Haus to do just that. It is our blessing--both yours and mine!  So push play,  turn up the volume and enjoy!

I know!  Great, isn't it?  You can purchase Paul's music on iTunes or at http://paulfinleymusic.com/  That's where you'll also find booking information and dates and places where you can catch one of Paul's live shows!
