Previous bio information...
Paul Myers was born in Toronto, where his band THE GRAVELBERRYS made a bit of noise in the mid-90's. He moved to San Francisco in '97, continued to keep his hand in music while simultaneously developing as a journalist and author.
In the Fall of 2007, Myers launched www.pulmyears.com. Pulmyears is an anagram of the name "paul myers".
**NEW!! SPRING 2008, The Pulmyears Music Blog went live: http://pulmyears.wordpress.com/
Apocryphally, Paul was a founder member of the world's least successful Beatles cover band, "1972" who dramatically recreate the Beatles during the time they were suing each other and not speaking. (Paul played dual roles of George Harrison and legal counsel David Jacobs)
As for ACTUAL accomplishments, Paul was asked to write the authorized biography of his pals, Barenaked Ladies which was published in two countries under the title: BARENAKED LADIES: PUBLIC STUNTS PRIVATE STORIES. In 2001 Myers went on six month journey through Asia and India, before relocating to Vancouver, BC where he continued to play sporadically while flourishing as a writer and broadcaster.
Myers returned the Bay area in 2006, this time to the East Bay where he lives with his wife Liza and their cat, "Buddy Guy." Besides his work with GRAVELBERRYS, Myers has been recording for the last few years under the band name, FLAM! which is the moniker for his original electronic and instrumental compositions. (Drummers may know this, a Flam is the sound of one hit followed rapidly by another).
Paul Myers's biography of seminal English bluesman Long John Baldry,
IT AIN'T EASY: LONG JOHN BALDRY and the BIRTH of the BRITISH BLUES, was published in Fall 2007 by Greystone Books and is distributed in the USA by PGW.
Currently researching and writing TODD RUNDGREN: SOUNDS OF THE STUDIO for 2010 release.

I for one can recommend Paul Myers book about Long John Baldry. It's a great read about a great man. Anyone interested in British Blues, or indeed musical history in general, should get a copy.
