Growing up in Ft. Worth, Texas, Paul Tietjen never thought he would spend most of his days playing music out of Minneapolis, Minnesota. For the past 15 years he has used his singer/songwriter gifts with the band 100 White Flags. Occasionally, Paul also plays solo gigs or has been called to help out other groups on stage. When he was 9 he got his first guitar and ever since then he has been standing at the crossroads of blues and rock. When you listen to his performances, that’s the corner you’ll find yourself on.
