now

How nice of you to drop by! My name is Paul van Vlodrop (1955). 

 Since the mid-1970s, I’ve been playing bluegrass and related acoustic music styles on various instruments and I offer lessons on all of these. 

You can find my past experiences on the biography and discography pages of this website. But that was then. Let’s talk about the now…

My current musical projects are:

Teaching: I teach mandolin, 5-string banjo, guitar, and ukulele in my home in Amsterdam.

Living room concerts: a 2x 45 min program with songs and tunes from my Alley Cat album, supplemented with work by favorite singer/songwriters (including John Prine, James Taylor and Willie Nelson).

Paul & the Alley Cats: The band I work with, whenever there is an opportunity to play on one of the European bluegrass festivals. 

Band coaching: I offer feedback to novice (bluegrass) groups on singing and playing together.

Session musician: I can be hired as a studio musician, stand-in or guest performer.
