Thanks for visiting paulbertschmusic.com!  So glad you’ve visited the page…And let me wish you a Happy and blessed New Year in 2012.  I have so much to be thankful for…A great wife and kids, a great job, food and shelter, a great church family.  I’ve been living life as a Christ-follower now for about 32 years and it’s been the greatest journey.  And music has a been a big part of that!

To those who were at the Nashville, IN show at Chateau Thomas, thanks for coming…so great to meet you!  I hope the Paul Bertsch Band will be performing more regularly at the 4 Chateau Thomas locations in the near future!

If you are new to my music, I am a singer/songwriter/guitarist from Terre Haute, Indiana.  I play music with long time friends who are also fine musicians.  We are sad that our most recent band addition, our good friend Dan Lampton, will be moving soon to Maryland.  Dan recorded my 2010 record, “Red Dirt Road” and also played live with the band contributing guitar, resonator, mandolin and keyboards to our live shows.  We will miss him a bunch!

Neal Wagner (bass, harmony vocals), David Tyra (Electric guitars, harmony vocals) and John Dufek (Drums) continue to be a core of musicians that I have played with since 1987!  We are old and our backs hurt more, but we still manage to produce pretty good music from time to time!

Our 2010 CD “Red Dirt Road” has been a blast to perform live over the past 12 months.  I hope you catch us live in 2012! Check out the CD review of Red Dirt Road by Mark Bennett of the Terre Haute Tribune-Star. The CD remains available on this site as well as all of the major download distributors, including iTunes and CD Baby.

Red Dirt Road (Song for Mozambique) can also be seen on YouTube with photos and footage of my time in Mozambique.  Check it out at:

    Paul,
    Congratulations on your new cd! Where can we get a copy? We have been busy with kids activities, but plan to get back into the studio soon to make a new cd. Great hearing from you! Bret and Frisk Miller

      Hi Bret, Great to hear from you. I think I’d recommend just ordering it on my site if you want the CD (paulbertschmusic.com). But it’s on all the digital distributors, too (iTunes, etc.) So you’ll be recording soon? I think of you guys pretty often, especially when I hear an America song! Singing Powderfinger together was a highlight, too! How was smallmouth fishing this season?
      Paul

  3. I’m buying this (and “The Traveller”) as soon as I get home tonight! Then I’ll have both of your albums, both of Marty Feldhake’s, AND my copy of “Chatterbox Cafe ’93″!

    Any chance I can get an autographed copy? I promise I will NOT turn around and sell it on eBay! :)

    “Sing that sweet, sweet song of salvation; and let your laughter fill the air!
    Sing that sweet, sweet song of salvation to all the people everywhere!
    Sing that sweet, sweet song of salvation to every man in every nation!
    Sing that sweet, sweet song of salvation; and let the people know that Jesus cares!”

    So glad to see via Facebook that you’re still out there makin’ music for the Lord! Blessings to you and yours!

      Hi Howard, Nice to hear from you and glad you are beefing up your “Cedar Campus Collection”! I’m happy to add to it. Hope you enjoy them. I loved the Larry Norman reference…So sad to see him pass awhile back. Paul

  4. Hey Paul. It’s great to connect with you again! Wonderful to see you’re still making music, and to see that your ministry with IVCF still continues. May God “make permanent the work of your hands” (Ps. 90:17).

      Brad, So great to hear from you. I do think of you often. How are you and Melissa? Love to hear what is going on in your music world. Are you still a worship pastor? Hope we can stay in touch a little bit in the months to come!
      Paul
