Paul takes you on a journey from a "foot stomping" rockabilly sound to a "heart wrenching" tale of love gone bad. He has masterfully mixed the styles of Old and New Country to obtain a piece that is sure to please the "die hard" Old Country fan or the New Country listener.
Born in Somerset,Ky Paul boasts singing as early as he can remember, from his grandmothers carport singing at the top of his lungs to the neighbors across the hollow, to getting up every time they would let him in Church. He started playing guitar at the age of thirteen when he recieved his first as a birthday present. "It was an old Kay guitar, and I hardly ever set it down," he says. Soon after he was playing in neighborhood bands and sometimes filling in as Bass player for some local bands. He played his first Tavern gig at the age of sixteen. "They made me stay in the back between sets, since I was to young to even be in the place" he recalls. From there the music was in his soul and he played every chance he got. From Churches to Nightclubs and alot of Charitable gigs in between has given him the "teething ring" he has needed to cut his teeth and fine tune his country sound.
Being raised on Country Music from his moma's radio has definately given Paul the influences that any Country singer would be proud to boast about. From Haggard to Jones he loved them all and connecting with that Country Soul has ever strengthened these ties and given his music a homeplace. Writing simple songs about complex issues in life and in love has ever been a pssion for Paul Miller and it surely shines through in his lyrics as well as his vocals.
