Paul Summers Jr.
Bio
Paul Summers is an acoustic guitarist originally from Las Vegas, Nevada. He now resides in the Portland, Oregon area. In the late 1990’s to early 2000’s, Paul toured the western U.S. relentlessly, playing everything from coffeehouses to large venues, headlining and opening for major touring acts. In 2003, Paul started cutting back his schedule to focus on raising his daughter. Drug addiction plagued the artist and his marriage. By 2007, he quit using and a year later became his daughter’s sole custodial parent.
Now that his daughter is raised and on her own, Paul has re-shifted his focus to again perform the music which has always been in his blood. Inspired by uploading his old recordings and videos on YouTube at the request of diehard fans, Paul has embraced social media platforms and the post-Covid emergence of live music fans. A gifted singer/songwriter with 17 years of sobriety, Paul Summers has been anticipating his return to the stage with a whole new level of skill and gratitude for the opportunity to again be working for patrons and venues.
