“Paul and I have worked together both on the road and in the studio. He is a gifted musician and a great guy. Great sounds and tone, as well as super easy to work with - very highly recommended!”

“What can I say about Paul. As a performing musician or a studio player he is the easiest to work with and always brings his best game. No matter what project I had Paul work on he always delivered exactly what I needed and was a blast to work with! So as a Grammy and Emmy Award winning music producer I highly recommend Mr. Hagy!”

“Paul's playing is top shelf. This is the most important thing. But the second and very close second thing, Paul is a great hang. Wonderful human. He knows gear and tone not just for the sake of gear and tone, but he knows what is needed to create emotion and vibe in your music. You cannot go wrong hiring this cat!”

Debbie Carroll

Vice President, Health and Human Services MusiCares

“I have had the pleasure of knowing Paul for several years. He is a consummate professional with tremendous talent and expertise. Review his resume and you will find that Paul has worked with many amazing artists over the years. This speaks to his stellar reputation and the tremendous respect he has earned within the music industry. Additionally, Paul is one of the kindest people one will ever meet. If given the opportunity to know and work with Paul, seize it immediately.”

Dave Pittman

Recording Artist

“Coming off of the show, American Idol, Paul was very instrumental in getting my debut record out. The creative genius he brought to each of my songs was phenomenal. He knew exactly what I was going for and delivered it with style, class, expertise and professionalism. It was a privilege to work with him, and I recommend him to anyone. He has a great attitude and is an incredible guy all around!”

Kristy James

Multi-award winning singer/songwriter and recording artist

“When we took the songs to Paul he had very little to work with, and when they came back they sounded like songs. Paul has a huge talent for judging how to mix his outstanding playing abilities with what works best for the song, this kind of discipline is what defines good from great. His judgement and taste on all tracks was instrumental in making them work. Paul was professional and kind, but most of all understanding of what we wanted and I will use him again in a heartbeat.”

Songwriter, Former Music Director Christ Community Church

“I have used Paul in a number of capacities over our years in Nashville. As a music director and songwriter many of my opportunities to work with Paul centered around a variety of musical genres and styles. Paul is not only well rounded in his music styles and proficiency but, he is dependable, professional in both attitude and proficiency, and someone that one enjoys spending time with on longer stretches such as road trips and tours. I would highly recommend Paul for any work that might require a “next level” musician as well as more day to day projects that need to be knocked out quickly and with high proficiency.”

Rory Partin

Independent Entertainment Professional

“I've worked with Paul for years, both live and in the studio. His playing has always been top tier, whether on electric or acoustic. And he's a joy to work with... great guy, great hang. I've had him play for both acoustic and full 20 piece big band shows and had him play on my last big band record. If you have an upcoming recording project or live show, I would recommend you give Paul call.”

Jeff Pitzer

Creative Director, Project Manager, Independent Music Professional

“I've known Paul for over 20 years. I've seen him play live for a variety of artists, and have worked with him in the studio. He has a wealth of knowledge as well as gear, and he uses both to adapt to whatever genre you need him to play.”

“Hey folks - if you need guitars, Paul is the man. Great composition skills, creative and melodic parts, well thought through hooks and layers, and of course tone. 5 stars!”
