Paul Sprawl has his own approach to music, the guitar, songwriting, and to finding an audience for his work. He sprouted a small national audience by traveling around in a van going to open mics. His songs combine percussive guitar techniques with bottleneck, tapping, harmonica on a rack, and
songs of the downtrodden and forgotten. He travels with a truckstop guide next to the driver's seat, has a college arts education and put out six cds in seven years.
Listen for yourself. With performances in 37 states in the USA and shows in Canada and Germany, Paul Sprawl has toured six to eight months a year since 2000. 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.

Hello! haven't seen you in a very long time. I used to run into you and Jaia in chicago and cleveland and we made pasta and got grease for jaia's truck. Anyways Out of all the people I ran into over the years, your music has always been one of my favorites. Thanks for being you. I just moved to vegas and am about to have a baby, not really doin music presently. If you ever need any help or whatever in my neck of the woods give me a hollar. Vicki
We all get confused sometimes...(walking down the road). I guess our show in Savannah fell through but I'd love to do another sometime. I REALLY dig your music. Keep on, be safe and keep in touch.
