What is Akoustic Gospel?
About Akoustic Gospel
My name is Paul Hayden. I was raised in West Texas and Oklahoma. My love of music traces back to singing hymns in baptist churches in the 1950’s and 1960’s. I was also greatly influenced in terms of musical style by the “British Invasion”, which began for me in 1964, sparked mostly by Beatles songs playing on the radio. I began playing the guitar that year and I have enjoyed the creativity of this type of popular music through the years.
The songs I plan to post are all recorded in my home, and I utilize traditional instruments like six and twelve string guitars, the mandolin, mountain dulcimer, and the electric and upright bass; as well as “virtual” instruments for orchestral sounds and a variety of keyboard instruments.
