Have Guitar...Will Travel

I was born and raised in the city of Chicago and left home as a teenager to pursue my love of music. The Chitlin’ Circuit in the 70’s was a virtual training ground where I developed a knack for playing inside the polyrhythms that were the basis for many grooves found in popular Funk music of the era. Today I perform with the dynamic show band Generation playing at premier venues and festivals around the Midwest. I am currently in preproduction of an original project called "The Mind" which includes a concept album to be recorded in Muscle Shoals Alabama and Nashville with various members of the famous Swampers. The album will feature 19 songs strung together in a musical journey about a child with a nod to the infamous Rock Operas from Rock's golden era. I continue to compose and produce my own compositions and can be found performing regularly at festivals, concerts, clubs, and corporate events in the greater Chicago-land area. I am available for sessions and live performances, contact: www.kevinpaulguitar.com
