BIOGRAPHY

COME WITNESS HISTORY ~ Les Paul was the Godfather of the electric guitar and inventor of multi-track “sound on sound” recording. A musical pioneer, inventor, and innovator that forever changed the music as we know it. Come see Tom Doyle, Les Paul’s right-hand man of over 45 years, play Les Paul’s hits and show you how “The Master” did what he did. Don’t miss a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get an up close and personal view of the one and only Mr. Les Paul.

Take a stroll down memory lane and enjoy a piece of our shared American Musical History with this enthralling show dedicated to the one and only Mr. Les Paul - The Godfather of the Electric Guitar and the inventor of "sound on sound" multi-track recording. Tom Doyle was Les Paul's guitar builder, fixer, soundman, close friend, and all-around right-hand man for over 45 years! Come listen to Tom perform the hits and tell stories about "The Master"… Firsthand accounts of what it was like to work with The Musical Genius for almost half a century. You'll be regaled and fascinated by the music, the stories, the secrets, and the behind-the-scenes look at one of America's Greatest Musical legends and innovators… Mr. Les Paul.

When Tom and Sandy perform their Les Paul & Mary Ford Tribute Show, it's the best time to travel ever! Their audience will be transported back many decades… back to a time when things were simpler, music had meaning, and the artists were truly talented… none more so than Mr. Les Paul and his lovely wife, Mary Ford. Tom and Sandy are not just merely making an impression of these great entertainers of the past… Tom has a long personal history with THE great and famous guitar Icon. Tom and Les worked together, side by side, for over 45 years… on guitars, music, sound engineering, Les’ performances, and so much more… Oh, the stories he has!

Tom Doyle’s guitar riffs are unique, and his high-speed fingerpicking makes his one instrument sound like dozens. So many in The "Les Paul Entourage” still call Tom “Tommy Eight Track”… because of his ability to deliver that fantastic multi-track and layered sound with just one guitar! While Tom is making the music, his wife and stage partner, Sandy, sounds eerily just like the inimitable Mary Ford herself… with that uncanny self-harmony that Les and Mary made so famous all those years ago.

Its been said before, but never was it so true -
Tom Doyle was "The man behind the man".

History is funny sometimes... Often there's more legend, lore, hearsay, fiction, and spin than actual truth to certain stories as they get passed around over time. That's certainly the case with regard to the legacy of Mr. Les Paul - one of the most creative, ingenious, and important musicians and inventors of this or any other time. Even though Les is/was a recent figure in music history over the last millennium... the man, his guitars, his contribution to music, and his influence are covered in myth... mired in misinformation and laden with erroneous fable. One man was there, through it all... the ups and the downs, the good times and the bad, the major discoveries and the foibles - and that was Tom Doyle. Tom was Les' close friend, confidant, co-inventor, ear, sounding board, and fixer for all those decades.
