Paul put on an awesome live performance at Handmap Brewing in Battle Creek. Great music, great atmosphere, and exactly the kind of musician youd want for a private party, wedding, brewery event, or corporate gathering. Super talented, professional, and really knows how to connect with a crowd. If youre looking for live music or acoustic entertainment in Southwest Michigan, definitely check him out.

Hey Bryan, really appreciate the review! It was an absolute pleasure to play at Handmap, really glad you enjoyed it. Such a great place, was an unexpected find in Battle Creek.
Not sure if you know but I'll be playing there the 2nd Thursday of every month. Hope to see you and your crew there again!
And thanks for the plug for private events. Things are picking up thanks to the kind words from folks like yourself.

Paul played my birthday celebration. What a joy to be serenaded on your birthday and not just with the birthday song. Paul alternated playing guitar and piano with tunes we could sing along with and songs that we enjoyed listening to him sing. He even played one of his own compositions! He kept us entertained with his easy manner and wonderful versatility. I highly recommend engaging him for your next event!!

Hi Heidi, thank you so much! It was an absolute pleasure to play at your birthday celebration at The Lucky Wolf in Paw Paw.
I'm so glad the mix of acoustic guitar and piano created the atmosphere you were hoping for, and that you and all your wonderful guests enjoyed it!
If anyone in the greater Kalamazoo or Grand Rapids area is planning a private event and wants live music to make it unforgettable, I'd love to create the same experience.
