One of my favorite gigs! Playing out at the airport for Edmonton Tourism. There's something really exciting about taking art out into a public space. I meet an incredible variety of people. Once within half an hour I talked with an architect/classical musician who spoke very knowledgably about my chord subtitutions, a three year old girl who stopped by to dance while she and her mum waited for her big sister to arrive, and an oil-rig worker who wanted to give me the rest of his pack of smokes because he thought I sounded just like Stevie Ray Vaugn.
It reminds me of when I was busking around Europe in the early 90's, pretending to be a local for the North American tourists.

"Time after time, I have found Paul to be the consummate professional; first as a top notch musician but also someone who knows how to read a crowd and play accordingly – he always adds a warmth and classy tone to our events that had been noted by our clients. It is a priviliege to include him as one of our profiled artists and brag that he’s one of Edmonton’s own – and, it is a pleasure to work with someone who is in tune with our clients as an audience as well as us. I am thankful Paul is able to assist us in promoting Edmonton and showcasing one of our key messages through his music, our festivals."
