Paul Sprawl has a unique, creative and soulful approach to the guitar, to songwriting, and to finding an audience for his work. Who else grew a national audience by traveling around in a van going to open mics? Who else combines percussive guitar techniques with bottleneck, tapping, harmonica on a rack, and
songs of the downtrodden and forgotten? Who else with a truckstop guide next to the driver's seat of his van has a college arts education and has put out six cds in seven years?Listen for yourself. With performances in 35 states in the USA and shows in Canada and Germany, Paul Sprawl toured six to eight months a year from 2000-2005. Since his 1999 cd, Blue Suitcase, produced by Lee Townsend (Bill Frisell, Kelly Joe Phelps) for the German label, Intuition, he's put out five more full-length cds on his own label, Vagabond.
