Paul Chasman and The Great Gatleys with Special Guest: Tutu Kane
About Paul Chasman
After the release of Paul Chasmans second album in 1981, Guitar Player Magazine called Pauls music, Imaginative, sensitive; a fine example of a guitarists devotion to the full exploration of his instruments capabilities. Thirty years later, after releasing his One Man Guitar Festival CD, Minor 7 Web Magazine continued the accolades with this description: Eclectic and inspiring (with a) keen ability and attention to craft...seamlessness and continuity that dont seem possible. Chasman is a fretboard master.
After the release of Guitar Festival which celebrated fifty years of guitar playing, Paul had surgery on his left hand (due to fifty years of guitar playing). During his recovery while he was barely able to hold a G chord, he wrote a song Then he wrote another and another--he couldnt stop! Three years and two CDs later, Paul Chasman has completed his reincarnation from mute guitarist to acclaimed singer/songwriter. His songs are a skillful mix of vivid poetry, formidable guitar playing, and biting satire.
Paul Chasmans musical career spans over fifty years during which time he has recorded over fifteen albums of his own music; performed solo, with blues, bluegrass, rock, and jazz bands, and in classical ensembles; composed the musical score for the feature film, The Last of Us; was contributing writer for Frets and Guitar Player Magazine; was musical director for the Port Angeles production of the play, Celebration; taught at the Puget Sound Guitar Workshop for fifteen years; was a founding member of The Acoustic Guitar Summit along with Terry Robb, Doug Smith, and Mark Hanson with whom he played for its first nine years.

Now, Laurie is singing with Paul Chasman as back-up vocalist and harmonizer as one of the two 'Great Gatleys', The original songs that Paul so brilliantly composes are witty, versatile and humorous, and lend a fabulous opportunity to harmonize.
