   About Andrea Paquin
ABOUT:

I am not quite sure how to start this off so let's see...I love music and I have been playing for a long time, since I was 15 years old. I am a self taught musician. I have been writing and performing my original music from the beginning of my career. I find myself these days especially, focusing on the lyrical content of my songs. I have been influenced by such artists as Joni Mitchell, Simon and Garfunkel, Donovan Leitch, David Gray, and Glen Phillips of Toad the Wet Sproket. I have always felt a connection to the folk scene and have created my songs to blend in with this genre of music.

I was born and raised in the state NH. I spend much of my free time solo hiking up the 4,000 footers in the White Mountains. There is constant peace on the trails and it is most definitely my place of refuge.

I have been blessed to have played all over the Northeast sharing many stages with such talented musicians including Howie Day, Melissa Ferrick, Chris Pureka, Zoe Lewis, Blessed Union of Souls, Gregory Douglas, Garrison Starr, Namoli Brennet, Edie Carey, Anne Heaton, Jess Klien, Ember Swift, and Pamela Means. Performing with these artists has opened me up to new ideas regarding music and life. I feel lucky to have been able to listen to these artist’s stories through their songs and discussions behind the stage. I have been given great insight from many of them and I am thankful.

I have just recently released my latest recording, “It’s What You Choose To See”. It is a 6 song EP that consists of songs about my personal growth over this past year.

In addition to my new recording, you can catch me performing in and around the northeast region...I hope to see you!



REVIEWS:

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)
