Bio:
Paul Hanrahan grew up the son of two artists, so creative expression was the norm. Paul picked up the guitar at around 11 years old and taught himself how to finger pick early on. He started writing songs soon after and from the beginning his songs have delved into introspective thoughts and feelings about a wide range of topics. His lyrics can take a song on a strange ride that can also show his dry and ironic sense of humor. After taking a break from performing for a number of years, Paul has recently returned to the local music scene to share his songs and guitar playing. He won the 2009 Woodstock Harvestfest Guitar contest. He is currently recording this summer and will hopefully have a new CD available by the end of August. Paul lives in Johnsburg with his wife Carla and their three kids.
