Overview

I'm a female singer who provides a wide variety of acoustic guitar/vocal music (as well as vocal/piano, I do both) for private parties, wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours, etc. I can make it upbeat, fun, and raucous--or classy and low-key. I'm excellent at "reading the room," and knowing when to interact and when to quietly provide atmosphere in the background. I cover a little bit of everything from the Beatles/Aretha Franklin era to today, and I do Christmas music! I take requests and can also write personalized wedding songs for an additional fee.

Nico was a hit!!!

My wife's 50th was so much more special due to Nico Padden and her musical contribution. She was punctual, accommodating and talented - exactly what I was hoping for. She played continuously and had such a pleasant sound both vocally and instrumentally. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented singer with a wide range of music choices for any event. Thanks Nico for a job well done!

What to expect

Beautiful music, song requests, an excessively fun time, a smiling face, warm personality, and the perfect music for your party.

About

I'm a musician from a family of musicians. My mom's a professional musician and I followed in her footsteps. I absolutely love making your party the most fun it can possibly be. I love to take requests, get the crowd singing, and make sure everyone has a great time. I'm great with elderly people and kids, too.

Additional booking notes

I use a Bose PA system, take care of all set-up/take-down myself, and just need access to a three-pronged outlet to make the show happen. I require access to the location at least an hour prior to start time to set up. No specific stage requirements--I've played everywhere and am flexible.
