After years of touring across Canada, the United States and Europe, recognized musician Ricky Paquette recently sold most of his belongings to buy an RV and turned it into a tiny home and full recording studio. The Quebec artist made his way to Nashville to start the songwriting process for his next solo album, a project he put on hold for the last few years while traveling the world on tour.
Signing his first record deal at only 12 years old, Ricky has been making waves on the blues, jazz and rock scene ever since. He's played with respected Canadian artists including Angel Forrest, Bruce Cockburn, Downchild, Paul Deslauriers and Steve Hill. He has since released two solo albums, opened for international acts such as CCR, Buddy Guy, Frank Marino and Simple Plan and played for the Canadian troops in Afghanistan. More recently, he's been touring with Quebec artists Martin Deschamps, Angel Forrest and Travis Cormier.
