Primary Instrument: Arranger
A musician and entertainer for most of his life, Paul Vesco started accordion lessons at the age of 3. As a teenager taking up the popular instrument of the day, guitar, and eventually moving to organ, Paul gained local notoriety as a bandleader of groups in the Pennsylvania/Ohio area.
He was always interested in the “entertainment” side of the business and eventually formed a show band that traveled nationwide for over 8 years. After several months of bookings at the Harrah's Hotel & Casino and the Sands Hotel & Casino, Paul decided to get off the road and settle there. He became a supplier of groups to many of the casinos and became a licensed talent agent with Productions Unlimited, Inc.
After several more years, he became the Bandleader and Musician Contractor for the Sands Hotel & Casino, eventually gaining the same position at the Trump Castle Hotel & Casino, and finally became the first person in that position at the Trump Taj Mahal Hotel & Casino.
Eventually, Paul moved to Florida, but maintained a presence in casinos across the country as he conducted or arranged for various shows. He became the bandleader for the President Casino in Biloxi, and also backed shows at various other casinos across the USA.
Working with longtime client and friend, Frank Stallone, he wrote arrangements and conducted the orchestra around the world and made many TV appearances including, Kathy Lee & Regis, The Rick Dees Show, and an appearance on the series, Walker-Texas Ranger.
