Paul Silveria has a passion for sharing traditional music and dance with wide range of audiences.
Paul is an old-time banjo player who covers a variety of intriguing Americana: mountain ballads, country blues, jug band tunes, and originals, all with a ready wit and engaging delivery. Most notably he plays for kids and their banjo-loving parents as Professor Banjo in a show that features sing-a-longs, dancing games, and more!
He also plays for grown-ups as "Professor Banjo: Detention Hall," where he gets to dip into the rich musical well of inebriation, homicide, and heartbreak.
Paul has been calling traditional Square Dances with live music since 2002. His energetic delivery and beginner-friendly teaching have made him a regional favorite!
