Eugene musician Paul Biondi has music in his blood. The 58-year-old picked up his first musical instrument in the fourth grade and has been playing professionally since age 13.

“I love what I do every day of my life,” Paul says. “I’m so grateful to work on my craft for a living.”

During his musical career, Paul has played with greats like Frank Sinatra, Tina Turner and Barbara Streisand. He’s known for his ability to play almost any instrument in the woodwind family, as well as his trademark talent of playing two saxophones at once.

Gus Russell: As a soloist, this Eugene pianist plays classic jazz, standards, blues and popular piano. He plays every Wednesday at Mac’s Restaurant with the amazing sax and multi-woodwind player Paul Biondi. Gus has also shared the stage with Bo Diddly, Elvin Bishop, Chris Cain, Curtis Salgato, Paul Delay and Tiny Tim.

As always, shows are all ages and free for everyone!
