Business Hours
Stef Paquette
Having recently turned 40, Stef Paquette has been taking time to hear his inner voice, write new songs and simply live life. The renowned Franco-Ontarian singer-songwriter is also well known as a radio host across Northeastern Ontario with Le Loup FM and an actor in the popular TV series Hard Rock Medical and Les Bleus de Ramville.
But the Sudbury-born signer is still thrusting forward in his musical career as well.
A natural showman with a wacky sense of humour, Stef Paquette loves being on stage and his audiences love seeing him there. Alone with his guitar and harmonica or along with his band, he has been crisscrossing Canada for years, playing countless festivals, concerts, major events and school workshops. In April 2015, his faithful fans were rewarded with a new online EP containing several songs that had previously been heard in live performances only. The multifaceted artist also unveiled the single Si jamais (If Ever), an upbeat pop-rock rendition of his well-loved acoustic ballad. These latest recordings introduce a new sound in comparison to his acclaimed 2012 album Le Salut de l’arrière-pays (Backcountry Blessings). True to his artist’s calling, he’s staking out new ground.
In Fall 2015, with RADARTS and Coup de Cœur Francophone, Stef Paquette was on a big tour that brought him to 43 dates in 50 days going through 9 provinces and 1 territory from New Brunswick to Yukon. First franco-ontarian artist to do the nation-wide tour, he shared the scene with Fred Pellerin for sold out concerts.
In 2015, Stef Paquette garnered the Trille Or (French Ontario’s music industry awards) for
Best Male Performer as well as nominations for the Best Singer-Songwriter and the
Radio-Canada Public’s Choice awards. His charismatic stage presence and his ability to rally fans are widely recognized, as recently indicated by his ProducersChoice award at the 2014 Contact Ontarois industry showcase and his 2013 Trille Or award for Best Album.
