Paul Westbrook

I am a musician. I wear many hats and pursue many dreams. I'm a laid-back workaholic who is thankful to be making a living doing something I love while traveling the planet at the same time.I've studied music since I was ten years old. I've played in rock bands, country bands, big bands, jazz combos, and symphony orchestras. In 1993 I co-founded the rock trio Thinking Plyers. We have recently completed our fourth Independent work entitled Gnostic Love Songs. http://fburls.com/72-lXCFGpCt/t/cid/530359/sid/76753937 I grew up in southwest Louisiana and moved to Nashville in 2000, where I lived until late 2007. During that time, I played bass for a number of rising Nashville artists including Donovan Chapman, Mark Oshea, Clay McClinton, Rachael Warwick, and Tony Garcia. I wrote songs in my spare time and I spent countless hours recording in my home studio. When I wasn't playing music i was touring the US, Canada, and Europe - stage managing, mixing audio, and teching guitars and drums. 2005-2007 I worked as Backline Technician/Stage Manager for George Thorogood and the Destroyers. 2007-2008 I worked on Carrie Underwood's Carnival Ride tour as Guitar Technician/Backline Crew Chief. I am currently the Guitar Technician for Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds.When i'm not on the road, I reside in Richmond, Virginia with my lovely and talented wife. We were married in May 2008 in Las Vegas, Nevada! Life is GOOD!!
