Give & Take

Born in the bustling city of Tokyo, and raised in the quiet suburbs of New York City, singer/songwriter Paul Tryon has been compiling the sounds and stories of his world into piano-driven songs for a decade's time. His debut record, 'Give and Take,' leads the listener on a lively journey through the heart of the Big Apple. Paul wrote the songs on 'Give and Take' while living in the shadow of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. The roaring semis and screaming sirens could be heard on many of the initial demo recordings, which were recorded in that very apartment. On the eve of Hurricane Sandy, when much of lower Manhattan was evacuating, Paul, Tony Tino (bass) and Tom Seguso (drums) gathered in The Magic Shop and recorded the first official tracks on the album.
