Paul H. Alpert bio:

I was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1962. Raised in St. Louis, I picked up my first guitar at age twelve. My style of guitar playing is a mix of blues, fingerpicking, as well as melody based instrumental work. I play in ten different tunings. I've been told my lyrics have sarcasm, humor and heart. Guitar is my main instrument, although I do play a bit of bass, banjo, and piano as well. I am a singer,songwriter on one side and blues, jazz guy on the other. All my work is mixed, and mastered by Tazu Marshall. "Curb Appeal" now available at Vintage Vinyl.
