Paul Horton, Musician/Entertainer

I’m Paul Horton, a senior who entertains, often at retirement & nursing homes. I sing, play guitar, and have a sophisticated drum synthesizer. I play tunes from the 1920’s to the 90’s and sometimes newer “standards”. Between songs (and while setting up and tearing down), I enjoy talking with residents. My Police Information Check and Police Vulnerable Sector Check can be shown on request. I’m a member of AFM (American Federation of Musicians) Local 226.

I’m self-employed/semi-retired with support that lets me play music whenever I’m scheduled, morning, afternoon, evening, or on the weekend. My flexible schedule means I’m often available to fill-in for a last minute cancellation. I carry everything I need, including my chair. (I do need a 110 volt outlet!)

Here is my “Top 10” playlist (from the more than 400 songs in my repertoire):
