For almost forty years, Paul Geremia has survived solely by the fruit of
his musical labours. Having abandoned all other means of support in
1966, he has been travelling far and wide ever since, performing in
every capacity from street singing to club and concert bookings,
throughout the U.S.A., Canada and Europe.

In the years since, Geremia has built a reputation as a first rate
bluesman, songwriter, a "scholar" of early jazz and blues, and one of
the best country blues fingerpickers ever with his tools - six and
twelve-string guitars, harmonica, piano and a husky soulful voice - and
with an innate sense of the humour as well as the drama of the music, he
keeps traditional blues fresh and alive with his performances.

Combining his interpretation of the earlier music of people like Blind
Lemon Jefferson, Robert Johnson, Blind Willie McTell, Scrapper Blackwell
and Blind Blake, with his original compositions, he has created a style
which is very much his own and which has received accolades in the
U.S.A. and Europe, too numerous to mention.
