Paul Guzzone: Storyteller, Sideman, Teacher, Lifelong Student

In this episode, I sit down with bassist, producer, educator, and longtime Bacon Brothers collaborator Paul Guzzone. Paul and I first met backstage in Atlanta years ago when my band opened for the Bacon Brothers, and we bonded instantly over Aguilar rigs and the first U-Bass I had ever played.

What starts as a fun reconnection becomes a deep exploration of Paul’s multifaceted life in music. We talk about his early years with Tom Rush, his decades-long collaboration with Kevin and Michael Bacon, his extensive composing and jingle work, and his long career teaching Rock and Contemporary Culture at Pace University.

Paul’s warmth, humor, and decades of perspective make this a truly special conversation.
