From his roots growing up in Rochester, NY, RAY PAUL learned how to harmonize at very early age by listening to the EVERLY BROTHERS and was heavily influenced by the energy and excitement created by the first British Invasion, especially THE BEATLES and the classic pop songwriting of the '60's. After years of performing in groups touring the clubs, schools and colleges of NY State and the Northeast, and opening concerts for top acts such as THE RASPBERRIES and TOMMY JAMES & THE SHONDELLS, RAY PAUL moved to Boston in 1976 amid a burgeoning rock scene.
