About Paul Waltz Band
Our Story
The Paul Waltz Band has been performing in the Philadelphia & surrounding Tri-state area for several
decades. At one point the band was listed as the top unsigned band in Philadelphia and they wear this
unsigned status as a badge of independence with honor and distinction. Time has graced them with
professional polish which marks every performance.
The band has released a new album with recordings of “Hello” and “Forever Changes” reaching top 20 in
the country on ReverbNation. Their music is in the spirit of classic rock with the infusion of many
different musical styles.
Paul Waltz – Vocals, Guitar, Keys, Song Writer
Paul’s Musical career spans many decades and originates in Kansas City, Kansas.
After moving to the Philadelphia area he sang & played drums in local clubs with his brother Charles at
such a young age their parents had to sign off to get them in the door. Paul switched his focus to guitar
& keyboards and has been writing songs and producing his original music since the early 1980’s.
Anthony Crachiolo - Drums
Anthony is a gifted percussionist with a B.A. in Performance from the Berklee College of Music and is an
instructor of all percussion styles and theory. He has inspired a generation of top drummers with more
than three decades in music education. Some of his students pursue music & have graduated from top
schools like Juilliard, Berklee, West Chester University, Temple, and Penn State.

Joe Lombardi – Guitar & Backing Vocals
Joe grew up in a household with 6 siblings who all played in bands together and independently for most
of their adolescent years. His focus has always centered around rock music but has played and studied
acoustic fingerstyle, folk, classical & jazz guitar; still formally studying guitar & music theory (with Rob
Hekking, BA Music Gettyburg College). Joe has recently expanded his musical interest to piano where he
has been playing and writing original compositions. Studying piano, composition and theory in a local
music studio (with Kat Bowman, BA Piano performance University of Maryland, Masters in Opera
Coaching, Temple University).
Randy Givler - Bass & Backing Vocals
Randy was raised in a very musical family. Much to his parents chagrin he was drawn to rock music and
became an accomplished drummer playing in many original & cover bands. Later in life he made the
challenging decision to become a bass player. If you ask him his name he’ll say “I’m rock and roll god,
Randy Givler.” He’s only half joking when he says this.

Strong Points:
The lyrics fit perfectly, providing a thought provoking and emotive angle to the song that is articulately expressed by the lead vocal performance, showing great range and
