<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Mixposure is proud to announce the October Artist of the Month <a href="http://www2.mixposure.com/Paul_Reed_Smith_Music/">Paul Reed Smith</a>. Paul is obviously well known for his amazing guitars but Paul also happens to be a fantastic musician in his own right.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">From his bio...</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Paul Reed Smith (founder of PRS Guitars) and Derek St Holmes (former guitarist for Ted Nugent) spent two years writing these songs with Mike Ault and, Gary and Greg Grainger contributing.&nbsp; The CD is centered around Derek's voice, the powerful Grainger Brother's rythym section and Michael and Paul's guitar teamwork.&nbsp; Derek has an international reputation for being one of the best voices in rock.&nbsp; Basic tracks were recorded live at the Mechanic Theatre in Baltimore and mixed at Paul&rsquo;s studio and mastered by Bob Ludwig, owner of Gateway Mastering.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Paul Reed Smith is known as a guitar maker and leader of PRS Guitars. What is not commonly known is that Paul is a musician, songwriter and studio owner. Throughout his journey to find the ultimate tone in his guitars, a large number of extraordinary musicians have gravitated to playing music with him. In the beginning, this was for national music trade and guitar shows, music stores, guitar clinics and PRS Guitar promotional events. The goal was to sell guitars and let people know the head of the company could play. All the people joining him were professional musicians, but Paul doesn't consider himself a pro musician. He considers himself more of an expensive hobbyist who loves to play....<a href="http://www2.mixposure.com/Paul_Reed_Smith_Music/">more</a></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>I like the thought of going into&nbsp;a music store and seeing Tony McManus playing.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="385" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Fs2mQupeVxo&amp;rel=1"></param><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Fs2mQupeVxo&amp;rel=1" wmode="transparent"></embed></object></p>

<p>So how are you guys coming along on the Halloween and Octoberfest tunes? Personally I am behind!!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://revelation-six.deviantart.com/art/Jimi-Hendrix-51381125?offset=70#/dul7i1" target="_blank"><img src="http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs14/i/2007/080/c/6/John_Lennon_2004_by_Revelation_Six.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></a></p>

Who should be the October Artist of the Month? After tossing around RWK or Dazed, just kidding, we decided that it should be Paul Reed Smith. As you can see from our pictures and videos, we had a great time. We thought it was only fair we return the favor. So the October Artist of the Month is none other than <a href="http://www2.mixposure.com/Paul_Reed_Smith_Music/">Paul Reed Smith</a>! &nbsp;Thanks for a great time in Maryland!</span></p>
