JERRY PAUL
Jerry began picking bluegrass banjo over 36 years ago.
After playing locally at festivals and
clubs for over a decade, he converted over to the upright bass and began singing lead and harmony. With his
knowledge of bluegrass, fostered from hosting a bluegrass radio show for 6
years, he has a keen sense of knowing what folks want to hear! He is the backbone of the Lost Mill String
Band, keeping a steadfast beat and adding just enough accompaniment fill
to give the duet a full sound.
Jerry is the current Chairman of the Bill Monroe Bluegrass Music Hall Of Fame, located in Bean Blossom, Indiana.
Jerry’s instruments include;
1850 Hans Phlander, German hand carved upright bass-"General Patton"
1934 King upright bass-"Big John"
1940 Kay upright bass-"Little Joe"
1940's RB5 Gibson Mastertone banjo
