Paul Baughman

Musician!

Welcome to my humble webpage.

I'm a musician - part time, though not by choice, specializing in the "Blues".

I play Guitar and Bass. I have about 20 years of music lessons under my belt, studying with area Jazz great, Tony Janflone Sr.

I've been playing in bands all over southwestern PA for many years. I do freelance work in various Blues bands, on guitar.

On bass, I'll play virtually any style. I'm currently working with a variety band performing Country, Classic Rock and Dance music.

I'm available for one-nighters and will consider all offers.

I'm also an avid reader - of anything I can get my hands on, mostly nonfiction. I read a lot of blogs and can get lost on the internet for hours. I'm a long time computer butt sufferer.

Of course, I couldn't call myself a true musician if I didn't have a day job. That's driving a shuttle bus around in circles through downtown Pittsburgh. Enough about that.

   "Great guitarist who loves the blues. "

"Paul's got a great attitude, easy to work with - he loves the blues, his playing is great, and very important... I have never heard him overplay."

"You can count on him to add exactly what's needed and not step all over the songs - always plays real tight with the rhythm section"

He's also taller than me...

We played at the Spot Blues Festival again a little while ago. It's in Steubenville, OH.
Hank's Band went on two bands before us.

You guys sounded like a million bucks at the festival the other day... and that was before all the heavy drinking.

   You could tell george was having fun. We will definitely call you again if we need to."
