The Origins of the Band
In 2001 Donna Lynn Johnson brought the group together after meeting them at a local weekly open jam session in Yellow Springs, Ohio. "I was playing out around town solo and finally thought, HEY! what if I asked a few of the fellas to join me from jam night!?, that would be so much better." There she found Tim, Brian, Neil and Oliver. They played small gigs around Yellow Springs and decided they had put something together they couldn't, shouldn't stop.

One night, soon thereafter, they all went to Canal Street Tavern to watch a few bands. During that evening at one point Tim's wife, Kelly' stood up, looked at all of them and said, "Hey, look! there's Pauls Apartment". (The jam night was often held at a good friend's apartment, Paul). Pauls Apartment was born. almost...All they needed now was a drummer

During Donna Lynn's first summer in Yellow Springs she was asked to join in on a Jam downtown for the fourth of July. The drummer there was Greg Dewey (former drummer for Country Joe and the Fish) and by the end of the day he said to Donna Lynn, ?If you ever get a band together, I want to be your drummer". Well she remembered that, knew the time was right, hunted him down and asked him if he was still up for it. He said yes! And Pauls Apartment was complete
