Paul Collins Beat Brings Power Pop To The People

Functioning as a perpetually rolling rock ’n’ roll machine, Paul Collins Beat is well-versed in DIY ethics.  Utilizing all social media, the band has assembled its own network of clubs and bands that share its do-it-yourself mantra.  The result is the ability to continue touring nationwide while keeping expenses to a minimum.

“We are proud that we can do this and still keep the ticket prices to $10 and under,” Paul Collins said.  “We play music for the people and we want them to be able to enjoy it without going broke.”
