About Me

Paul Benjaman Karleskint has been a professional musician for 7+ years in the Tulsa, Ok. gluing a paycheck together from playing in bands as a sideman or an active composer, teaching guitar lessons, studio dates and solo shows. Owing success to being able to tackle many musical styles as well as cut a guitar groove distinctly his own, his career credits speak for their own as possibly the only guitar player in the U.S. to open for acts as diverse as Alt- country legend Junior Brown, modern rock act 311, bluegrass act David Grismann, Jazzmeister Charlie Hunter, and Tito Jackson.
