Artist Profile

Paul Bronson

Paul Bronson is a solo acoustic instrumental guitarist from Machesney Park, IL with over 35 years of experience in the Northern Illinois music scene.   He has a unique style reminiscent of classical-influenced instrumental rock mixed with smooth jazz focusing on elaborate technique, execution, and style. He creates complex arrangements of popular rock and pop songs from the 60’s-2000’s and arranges them to a solo guitar format. He markets himself as “The Sonic Backdrop” which lends itself to fine dining, wineries, breweries, and anywhere an ambient music environment is required.
His original compositions are easy on the ears and take the listener to many destinations. He is a must-see for the avid guitarist and music aficionados alike.

Paul took private classical guitar instruction through a Rock Valley College instructor from 2006-2010. The skills and knowledge he acquired helped him begin his journey as an instrumental solo guitar performer. While Paul was in multiple bands from 1981-2017, his sole focus from 2017 is that of the pursuit of a defining sound as a solo artist. He released an EP album, “Solitude”, A 5-song offering in January 2024 which is on almost all major streaming platforms. Always the consummate perfectionist, he is constantly evolving his art and exploring new avenues of expression.
