   About Andrea Paquin
New Hampshire native, Andrea Paquin has been writing, singing, playing and performing music since the mid nineties. At the age of 15 she taught herself how to play the guitar, and since has been unstoppable! For ten years Andrea was the bassist for the Boston based band, The Everyday Visuals. In 2004 Andrea left the band to tend to her blossoming solo career.

A passion for the outdoors, an underlying spiritual energy and her life’s twists and turns can be felt in Andrea’s music. Her truths and honesty are blended harmoniously in her songs, and the music, inspired by her hiking the trails of the White Mountains make for a remarkable listening experience.

Having played all over the Northeast, Andrea has shared the stage with many other talented musicians including Howie Day, Melissa Ferrick, Chris Pureka, Blessed Union of Souls, Gregory Douglas, Garrison Starr, Namoli Brennet, Edie Carey, Anne Heaton, Jess Klien, Ember Swift, and Pamela Means.

Andrea’s most recent release, “Listen” received much acclaim from Northeast Performer and The Noise. The record is a collection of songs written over the years past, and the album’s cover reflects the love Andrea has for nature and life.

Although she currently resides in Connecticut, Andrea is drawn to the purple mountains majesty of New Hampshire’s White Mountain range. Pastimes that include hiking, reading and meditation keep the songstress grounded, and focused on living her life to the fullest.

Currently, Andrea is at work on a new record and will be released in May. The demo features songs written over the past year, a time of change and self-discovery for Andrea.

In addition to the new recording, you can catch Andrea performing in and around the northeast region.

Northeast Performer review

Delicate acoustic harmonies and lighthearted romanticism define the sound of Andrea Paquin’s latest release. On Listen, the folk singer glides through an array of intimate, poppy anthems with breezy sensibility. Taking influences from alternative artists Indigo Girls and Kate Bush, Paquin’s simple folk arrangements would be at home with the Lilith Fair generation of musicians.

From the album’s onset, Paquin tugs at the heartstrings of her listeners and the rich, cozy humility of her voice goes down like red wine over good conversation. Opening the album, the soft-spoken ambiance of “I’m Not Going Back” brings about nostalgia of peering out the kitchen window on a blustery evening. On the up-tempo “Letting You Go,” soft murmurs of accordion mingle with gritty banjo into an Appalachian bluegrass swing. Though most of Listen is laced with sweet-tempered warmth, edgier timbres come through in the electric guitar swells of “Leader” and lyrical sarcasm of “Money”: “Let me be the one to shelf / The weight of money that we don’t have / You can keep it all and go to hell.” The dreary protest march of “Freedom” provides haunting counter harmonies on violin and Santana-style guitar licks.

The pop candor of Listen maintains strong personality and soul, making it a worthwhile album for any nu-folk music listener.

The Noise review

Holy Lilith Fair. I’m thirty seconds into the album’s opening track, “End of Me,” and my head is already flooded with thoughts of Sarah McLaughlin, Amy Mann, and Natalie Merchant among others. Am I stereotyping? Not really. Much of Listen is entrenched in the mold of many a ’90s female adult alternative rocker in the vein of Jewel, Sheryl Crow, and most notably Melissa Ethridge, with whom Paquin shares a noticeably similar vocal delivery.

Sweet and subtle, Listen is undoubtedly a peaceful, lilting and sometimes, as in the case of “Over My Shoulder,” psychedelic trippy piece of lighthearted mood music. Paquin throws a nice curveball in the middle of the record with “Leader,” a souped up rocker in which the singer goes all Juliana Hatfield on us. But for the most part, fans of the folk rock variety should find this a good, uh, well, listen. (Ryan Bray - The Noise)
