Ward Clifford and Paul - The Alliance	Singer-songwriter Lynn Paul Jr. came on the Boston music scene while still a teenager, playing with his school mates in a band called Mike Viola Alliance.  Mike, also a singer-songwriter (who later went on to supply the vocals for the soundtrack of the Tom Hanks' hit movie "THAT THING YOU DO!") fronted the group and they began to attract national attention.  That early band started their careers, working with producer/live engineer Dinky Dawson (The Beatles,Fleetwood Mac), and manager/producer Danny Bennett of RPM Productions (Tony Bennett, kd Lang, Elvis Costello).  The band played with live acts like Todd Rundgren, Alvin Lee and Joe Perry, and appeared on television, acting in a national sneaker commercial.  The band also performed live on the television show "Off the Record" with Hall and Oates.

Lynn Paul Jr. 1990's	After the break-up of the Alliance, Paul continued to play live, write, and record his own music.  Live appearances included Meat Loaf, Rick Derringer, Extreme and Beatlemania.   A music performer by night, Paul also became a music businessman by day, operating his own recording and soundstage rehearsal studio, Blackbird Productions.  He enjoyed working with national acts like  J. Geils Band, Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band, and hooked up with former bandmate Mike Viola and his new band The Candy Butchers, along with many local acts in the New England area.	Lynn Paul live in R.I.
Sean McNeely	Paul and bass player Sean McNeely began playing together after Paul met Sean through a musician buddy of his.  At the time Sean had been playing with a Rush tribute band but wanted to indulge himself in playing original music, so he teamed up with Paul.  Not long after that, an early line-up of what became Lynn Paul Junction began to emerge.  Several members came and went over the next few years as Paul and Sean searched to find the right players.

	During that up and down period, they managed to play live and release their first CD titled "Dirty Rain" in the fall of 2002.  Paul worked on the final mix of "Dirty Rain" with Grammy Award winning engineer Carl Beatty.  A northeast radio campaign began with Boston's Planetary Group and covered over a dozen states, with "Dirty Rain" receiving solid airplay, and definitely establishing the band's music along the east coast. The second CD "Bullzeye" was recorded in the fall of 2003, with a national radio and press campaign slated for early January 2004.  During the recording sessions of "Bullzeye", the band received great news as MTV had contacted LPJ's promoter wanting to license music from the band.  In October 2003 the song "If You Want to be Free" aired on MTV several times on its highly successful reality TV programming.

LPJ at Sally O'Briens, Somerville, MA	More good news arrived in January just after the first week of a 16 week radio promo; the band charted #10 in the nation on CMJ's most added list!  By the end of 16 weeks, the band had charted over 100 times across the nation and several times in Canada.  Noteable charting positions were:  #1 at WDTS, Georgetown, DE; #2 at WMHB, Waterville, ME; #3 at WGMU, Fairfax, VA; and #4 at KWRF, Santa Monica, CA, to name a few.  For more info on the band's charting history, please see our radio press page. In 2005, Flagstone Records signed LPJ and joined forces.  One of the first orders of business was to streamline the name of the band to Lynn Paul Jr. Band.   In 2006 the band played live throughout the year, and in the fall began the recording sessions for the latest CD "The American Way".  "The American Way" was released on Flagstone Records in February 2007. .
