“An agile voice, ruminative songwriting, and love for classic country, indie pop, and everything in between.”
— American Songwriter
Marin Patenaude
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. She holds a crowd on her own but can be seen with a stellar lineup of adventurous musicians that play freely and with big feelings.
