Marin Patenaude

Artist Website

Even in the quietest moments, Marin is fiery and alluring, a wild woman of the woods or urban sophisticate. Her songs, like her presence, are as passionate and beautiful as they are dark and raw. They weave in and out of Americana, deftly defying simple classification, landing beside the likes of Margo Timmins (Cowboy Junkies), Joni Mitchell, and hinting at the raucous sides of Neil Young and Jeff Buckley.

When I first heard Marin’s music, I was immediately struck by how pure her voice was. It made me think of Cowboy junkies, Aimee Mann or Lucinda Williams…in other words, classic.
