Paul Kennedy ,  lead guitarist & vocals, was born on 7-20-1957. He started playing guitar at such a young age that he can't remember when (no, not because of artificial stimuli.) Paul played his first paying gig at the age of 12 at the New Hide Park Inn in New York and has loved being on stage ever since.

 After five years of military service, Paul relocated to Florida in 1981.  Since then, Paul has “survived” several bands such as  “Country Touch” (Ray was in that band), “Bad Habit” (Ray again), “Dark Side” (Rock and Roll, baby) and finally Wildcard (Ray again!)  

Favorite stage guitars are a Paul Reed Smith Custom 22,Music Man "Luke"and a Godin LGX-SA. Favorite stage amplifiers are a Rivera S120 with a 2-10 speaker cabinet (stereo), and a Mesa Boogie Tremoverb 2-12 combo. Effects setup is proprietary and too numerous to elaborate.  One of the founding fathers, Paul has been with Wildcard since its inception in August of 1990.
