Paul Soos (Bass, Vocals) is an experienced bassist and vocalist residing in Canton, OH. Since his first serious foray into performing as the lead role of Scrooge in a musical version of A Christmas Carol in sixth grade, he hasn’t strayed far from the stage. His original Christian rock/metal band, Catalyst (similar in style to Stryper and Bon Jovi), released a CD in 1990 that received great reviews. However, after gigs across the mid-west and in LA and Hollywood, the band members decided to pursue different interests. After stints living in Indiana and Arizona, he returned to Cleveland in early 2016 and reconnected with Jason Kelty, rejoining E5C4P3 – The Journey Tribute. George McGrew, who he had worked with previously In Eclipse, pulled him into his plans for Best of Times, and here we are! Paul also performs with his wife, Melanie, in The Color 9 and MPG. Paul’s favorite bassists are Ross Valory (Journey), Ricky Phillips (The Babys, Bad English, Styx), and Mark Trewavas (Marillion).
