Paul Berger
Lehigh Valley guitar guru Paul Berger is one of the most well-known, well-liked, and well-respected guitar players in the area. His passion for music ignited in 1964 when he watched the Beatles perform on the Ed Sullivan Show, inspiring him to play guitar. In the early years, Paul played in bands such as 'Onyx' and 'The Carlton Berger Band.' During the 80s, he became a member of 'Bobby and the Insects,' performing rock music throughout the valley on a weekly basis. In the early 90s, he was the driving guitar force behind the high-powered country band 'Four On The Floor' and rockers 'The Lease Breakers.' Since 2001, Paul has showcased his diverse guitar and bass chops with many local bands across various genres. He added the 'jam' in classic rock’s Jamo Band and is now making waves with the Big Bone Daddy band, bringing a unique blend of rock and blues to the scene.

He later joined the country and rock band “Bittersweet” and recorded an album called “High in the Wild” in 1971. The band enjoyed a successful run on the 70's Jersey rock scene.

He especially loves playing with the Big Bone Daddy band and hopes you enjoy their rock-infused sound as much as he does!
