His brother Matthew Curreri is also a performing musician. Paul married songwriter/guitarist Devon Sproule in May 2005 and resided with her for several years in Charlottesville, Virginia. They often appear and tour together, performing duets—most famously for Valentine's Day.〔"(Live Review: Devon Sproule and Paul Curreri at the Boardwalk, Sheffield )" by Allan Wilkinson, February 13, 2008.〕 He and his wife moved to Berlin, Germany in September 2011 〔"(Berlin bound: Sproule and Curreri head for Europe )" by Justin Cober-Lake, August 22, 2011 in The Hook: MUSIC FEATURES.〕 and now reside in Austin, Texas. ==History== Paul Curreri was born January 28, 1976 in Seattle, Washington. He was raised in Richmond, Virginia, where he first put bands together and performed as a musician. He was high-school buddies with fellow musician Drew Gibson, who now lives in Washington, DC, "from ages 13 to 18, playing in bands together, writing songs and encouraging each other."〔(''Live!'' ) Paul Curreri, Drew Gibson and Devon Sproule June 27, 2007 at Jammin Java, Vienna—June 21, 2007 in ''The Washington Post''〕 Though he grew up playing music, telling band members in high school that "he saw things in colour," he ended up enrolling at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) to pursue painting and film. While his experiences at art school helped develop his ability to observe and record the visual world, his true passion again rose to the surface. By the time Curreri graduated from RISD he'd composed "more than 200 songs"〔 on guitar and piano. Turning down a job at MTV, he set out on a life as a musician. Following a spot at New York's Knitting Factory in 2001, he received several tour invites from Kelly Joe Phelps. Over the next four years, the two would play over 100 concerts together.〔(Official Website )〕 Paul now makes his home in Charlottesville with songwriter/guitarist Devon Sproule; the two were married in May 2005.〔 They met while Devon was performing at a show in Charlottesville when Curreri leapt on stage. Today they perform with each other, known especially for their duets. Curreri also contributes electric guitar to his wife's back-up bands. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paul Curreri」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
