Paul Childers & The Makers (USA)

With a mix of pop, R&B, and soul, Paul Childers leads a new generation of singer-songwriters and guitarists. The Nashville-based artist finds a way to blur the lines between Stevie Ray Vaughan and Hendrix guitar styles, a Motown rhythm section, and pop vocal melodies. Since 2014, Childers has been touring nationally and internationally, opening for Vince Gill, B.B. King, Robert Cray, Third Eye Blind, and LeAnn Rimes, and has headlined at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. He has also played the guitars of Chuck Berry, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Jimi Hendrix to pay tribute as an ambassador of the Songbirds Guitar Museum. Childers was selected as a debut artist by Acmeville Records, which features live recordings from the music hotspot of Nashville. His first three albums, Naked Poetry, Secondary Colors, and The One About Her, all debuted in the Top 20 of the global pop and R&B Billboard charts.
