Six and Twelve String Blues-Paul Geremia is possibly the greatest living performer of the East Coast and Texas fingerpicking and slide styles. He has been called a national treasure. John Hammond says that he'd drive a thousand miles to see Paul play. 'When Paul plays Leadbelly you can close your eyes and swear that it is Leadbelly himself.' Paul has created a style which is very much his own combining his interpretations of the music of Blind Lemon Jefferson Robert Johnson Blind Willie McTell Scrapper Blackwell and Blind Blake. Paul’s superb recordings have made him a critical favorite and place him firmly among the legends who inspired and influenced him over the past four decades.
