PAUL HAMPSON
Solo Acoustic Guitar
Performing classic and traditional songs on acoustic guitar.
Who Am I?
I am a singer/guitarist who began my music career in the 1980's. After completing my degree in music, I spent the next 25 years touring extensively throughout Canada & the United States with numerous large production tribute shows including, ABBA, Aerosmith, Tom Jones, Alanis Morrisette & Cher to name but a few, and was the touring guitarist for Rita Carrey (sister of actor Jim Carrey). Also an accomplished classical guitarist, I have released two solo classical albums, played on over a dozen recordings with multiple artists and have published two books on playing the guitar. I continue to perform throughout in various productions as well as a solo artist.
