Paul Nolan - Profile

Paul Nolan picked up a guitar at the age of eleven when his junior high required him to study music. He has been playing for six years or so, in cover bands and performing solo inside and around his hometown.

The first song that he learned was Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison, that his father taught him when he first got his guitar. His influences include; The Verve, Ray Lamontagne, Tracey Chapman, Jack Johnson, Nick Drake, and The Saw Doctors. However, Paul Nolan's favorite artist is Damien Rice.

Being in Dubai for only less than a year; besides meeting new friends and the sunshine, what keeps him going is music. He is a regular at Lime Jam, the Loft open mic and he is also a contract musician at El Paso with his cousin doing an acoustic duo on Saturdays. He also does administration job for his cousin's football academy.

Paul do not usually wait for inspirations. His songs just seem to come out from nowhere, he does not try to write them, but they just happen. Mostly, his songs are about the way he personally feel or if something happened. He really loved playing music and listening to music.
