This concert will reunite two long time friends and bandmates who both
went on to have impressive careers. Headlining will be Paul Guzzone.
Paul is a performing songwriter and producer whose work ranges
from pop music to corporate events, commercials and theater. His new CD Chasing the Moon is just reaching radio and is available at

bass player and vocalist in The Bacon Brothers band (featuring actor
Kevin Bacon and composer Michael Bacon), Paul has performed with them
around the world and on numerous broadcasts including The Tonight Show,
The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Prairie Home Companion and The
View. Paul also co-produced the band’s albums New Year’s Day, Can’t
Complain and The Bacon Brothers Live and he co-wrote their new single
“493 Miles.”
He also co-wrote "I WILL CARRY YOU," currently a
hit for Shara Strand. It was recently chosen as the theme song for the
American Humane Association. Other concert credits include tours with
Tom Rush, including his 2012 holiday show at Boston’s Symphony Hall; Tom
Chapin; Buskin and Batteau; the 70’s folk-rock band Revival; the band
Little Criminals; and Mary Ellen Bernard.

Jazz in Europe and Blues in Asia. He was musical director and
