The Hayesville town square will be the scene of another concert on Friday September 16. Paul J. Constantine, singer, songwriter, and guitarist, will play. The concert will run from 7 to 9 pm. Bring your chairs, and enjoy a fun-filled evening. The concert itself is free; however, donations are welcome.
If the weather is bad, the concert will move indoors to the Gathering Place room of the Hayesville First United Methodist Church right off the square. Take your chairs with you to the church.
As a professional musician, Paul has performed around the country both as a solo performer and as a member of various musical groups. Paul specializes in music tinged with country, soul, and R&B. He plays some classic rock and oldies and draws on many styles from the 50's to the present.
Paul grew up in New Jersey. An avid electronics experimenter, he first became involved in music when he built a custom amplifier for a friend who owned an electric guitar but could not play it. Acquiring his first guitar in his early teens, Paul performed for friends at parties and barbeques. Early musical influences included country & western, doo wop, R&B, soul, jazz, folk, and rock & roll.
After a tour in the United States Army, Paul returned to New Jersey and joined a group of friends in his first band as the lead singer and bass player. Musical performance became more than a hobby. Paul played acoustic guitar, acoustic bass, and electric bass in both solo and group settings. Touring the United States throughout most of the 70's and early 80's, Paul met his wife, Dawn, in Tampa, Florida. A musical hiatus followed for the next 25 years while they raised a family of five daughters.
Paul moved to the mountains of North Carolina in 2005 and reconnected with his musical past. He now performs as a solo entertainer, occasionally teaming up with other various local performers in the southeast. Paul has many neighbors and friends in Hayesville.
