Bio
Make no mistake about it, Nicole Paradiso and her band are the real deal. The show they put on is without a doubt impressive and exciting. Nicole's guitar playing has been described by Brad Tolinski, chief editor of GUITAR WORLD Magazine, as follows,"Nicole lays down rhythm guitar like a man. The Donnas don't even do that. The only other girl I've seen do that was Joan Jett." But it's Nicole's dynamic voice and stage presence that steal every show and win the hearts of the people. Her talent is undeniable. "(Nicole's)...distinctive voice and intriguing songwriting make for compelling listening."-MUSIC CONNECTION magazine. Nicole's training includes being a classically trained pianist from the age of 5, and a self taught guitarist beginning at the age of 11. Nicole speaks, "first it was a blondie 45 I had when I was 3. I thought 'Now this is great music!' Then it was the J Giles Band album Freezeframe when I was 5 and again I thought, 'this is great music!' It just started from there and the search is always continuing and expanding. I just want to add to the tradition." Nicole Paradiso band is a WELL influenced band. Nicole's writing is inspired by John Lennon, Led Zeppelin, Beethoven, Guns n Roses, Morrissey, My Bloody Valentine, The Sundays, Joni Mitchell, Jobim...the list goes on and on.
The players in Nicole's bands are very cool and top shelf good. Bottom line. No image posers. Musicians with soul, heart, and feel. This translates on stage. The rawness of it all. The honestly, beauty, pain and life shines through. This is what great performing is about. This is a timeless act.
