"..she has an amazing songwriting ability that could be parlayed into any number of creative avenues." - Boston.com "Paone has crafted her own sound somewhere between jazz club headliner and adult alternative radio staple...Be sure to give the whole disc a listen - you won't regret it." - The Deli Magazine.com Jenna Paone is a songwriter, pianist, and vocalist from Boston, Massachusetts, whose unforgettable songs and captivating stage presence make waves wherever she goes. After spending over six years building a name for herself in the Boston scene, Paone is set to release her first full length solo album, 'Hammers and Strings" in September 2014. This ambitious album features fifteen songs written in Paone's "Vintage Pop" style, which blends classic pop, soul, blues, and folk rock into an intoxicating musical cocktail with a contemporary bite. Her lyrical complexity, combined with her can't-get-em-out-of-your-head melodies, cinematic storytelling ability, and whiskey-tinged voice have earned her comparisons to powerhouses Adele and Sara Bareilles. A renaissance woman, Paone boasts twenty-five years of training and education in classical and contemporary piano, voice, ballet, and theater that includes a degree from Syracuse University's School of Visual and Performing Arts. It's no surprise that her upcoming album packs a serious punch, unapologetic in it's scope and complexity. Over the course of the album, which is more musical novel than a mere collection of songs, Paone draws from her own life experiences and takes listeners on a journey through the rise and fall of a romantic relationship. Paone's album is accessible, uplifting, and a whole lot of fun, thanks to her eternally optimistic point of view and catchy turn of tune and phrase. In addition to writing, arranging, and performing, Paone co-produced the album with Producer/Engineer Kevin Connelly at Waterville Sound and Recording. Grammy nominee Toby Mountain (David Bowie, Bob Marley, Alison Krauss) mastered the project at Northeastern Digital.
