Singer/Songwriter Jill Paquette is the newest addition to the Reunion Records family. Paquette's self-titled debut is like a tour of an art gallery full of diverse images, guiding you through a unique collection of songs that capture the imagination. Born in British Columbia, Canada, with French-Canadian, European and Native American roots, Jill began training in classical piano at the age of three, learning to play by ear. The transition from classical piano to acoustic guitar at the age of 16 breathed new life into her love of music. While she composes on both the guitar and and piano, Jill notes, 'the acoustic guitar is easily one of the coolest instruments in the world. When I started playing that, it just felt like home.' Produced by Steve Rendall in Canada and Phil Madeira in Nashville, this buzz-worthy disc addresses subjects that are personal to the songwriter but at the same time the themes are so universal the songs could be telling your story or mine. Paquette speaks softly but sings with a passion that is both powerful and delicate, vulnerable and strong. |
