His songs range from up tempo instrumentals and novelty tunes to country blues and moody mountain ballads. Sometimes the Professor dons a special one man band kite with drum, tambourine, kazoo, bell, spoons and more!
We always enjoy the Professor (and his “C-H-I-C-K-E-N” song has spurred impromptu spelling bees so his “title” does have some merit). We are proud to feature his debut CD at Milagros! Get it in the store or on-line.
Professor Banjo is at Milagros on Monday at 11am, come join the fun!

One of our fave family outings is heading to Mississippi Pizza to see Professor Banjo! Who is the good professor?
In real life he is Paul Silveria but on stage the Professor performs solo banjo in the old time “claw hammer” style. His songs range from up tempo instrumentals and novelty tunes to country blues and moody mountain ballads. Sometimes the Professor dons a special one man band kite with drum, tambourine, kazoo, bell, spoons and more!
We always enjoy the Professor (and his “C-H-I-C-K-E-N” song has spurred impromptu spelling bees so his “title” does have some merit). We are proud to feature his debut CD at Milagros! Get it in the store or on-line.
The Professor is tied up this summer but we hope to host him in the Milagros family room in the not too distant future. So more to come!
Haven’t had a chance to catch Professor Banjo in action at Milagros? You have one more chance! His last Milagros show is tomorrow (Wednesday, March 16) at 1pm!
