The Vinyl redux band was initially formed in 2021. Paul had just relocated to Stuart Florida in 2019 and quickly became familiar with the Treasure Coast music scene as both a performer and supporter. Paul saw notable gaps in the type of music that was being performed in local venues. Specifically, there were very few bands that could handle 2- & 3-part vocal harmonies. Similarly, there were few if any bands that could play a wide range of musical artists and genres. Many bands were playing the same old overplayed songs that every other area cover band was playing. Paul recruited four other like-minded musicians that wanted to bridge and conquer the musical gaps that existed, by delivering authentic classic rock and pop that spans 6 decades of music and artists.
The Vinyl Redux band plays recognizable songs from the 60’s through the present day that most other bands don’t or can’t. Vinyl Redux tailors their musical offerings to fit the venue, event, and audience. Their song sets can range from lighter semi acoustic songs from artists like America, Crosby, Stills & Nash, the Eagles, Zac Brown, and Jimmy Buffet, to an entire set of 60’s era rock, pop and British Invasion songs featuring artists like the Byrd’s, Kinks, Lovin Spoonful, Stones, Beatles and Zombies. When it’s time to transition to modern day (80’s to present) rock and pop artists, their songs include diverse artists like Blackberry Smoke, Crowded House, Dawes, Gin Blossoms, Cars, and Elton John. Most of their songs feature two- and three-part vocal harmonies with instrumental licks and instrumentation. Vinyl Redux uses tube amplifiers and no electronic gimmickry or external sound tracks, in the pursuit of recreating an authentic sound as close to the actual recordings as possible.
