Always the solid, in-the-pocket style player, Paul expanded into the country market, using his solid rock and roll roots in 1997, playing with country bands such as Brad Brock and The Renegades through 2002. Branching off in mid 2002, Paul founded Rough Shot, with the band playing all the top country night spots from Miami to Melbourne. The first to arrive and the last to leave, Rough Shot has been nothing short of a labor of love, passion, and drive. Today's Rough Shot brings people the best of the hits from every genre of music.
