Nico Paulo in concert

Saturday, October 19, 2024 at 9:00 pmYukon Theatre

The Yukon Theatre and Forward Music Group present:

An evening with Nico Paulo, folk-pop artist from St. John's.

Opening act: Rob Dickson and friends.

Nico Paulo is a Portuguese/Canadian songwriter, performer, and visual artist. She moved to Canada in 2014 to pursue her career, originally setting down roots in the vibrant Toronto arts community, and eventually moved east to become an essential part of Newfoundland’s celebrated music scene. Paulo’s highly anticipated, self-titled debut LP, which arrived in spring 2023, is a melodically dynamic, heart-baring collection that finds her exploring the interconnected nature of relationships and the flow of time in lush, sophisticated pop arrangements. The album’s textures come courtesy of production by Joshua Van Tassel (Villages, Fortunate Ones) and Tim Baker (Hey Rosetta!).

Filled with concepts of time, water, flowers and family, Paulo’s songs have a way of lending heavy themes a buoyancy, her vocals feeling equally warm and direct. In the tradition of singers like Gal Costa, Nico, Feist or Victoria Legrand, Paulo packs profound strength into songs that spare no tenderness or nuance.

Along with beautiful arrangements that pull out the finer details of the compositions, Paulo’s songs are captured here by the expert production team of Joshua Van Tassel and Tim Baker. Listen to Nico's debut album here! Or watch a live session at Bannerman Brewing in St. John's.

Jordy Walker, Willie Bell, Brendan Mulligan and join Whitehorse singer-songer, Rob Dickson. This small folk ensemble of guitars and singing and will be playing a short set of Rob Dickson songs including a few brand new ones.
