𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐨 𝐏𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 is a one-woman folk-rock riot. Ben Folds said she has “a big voice, a gorgeous voice,” and that the title track to her album Pirate Queen is “original and classic at the same time.” The pink-haired, loud-mouthed native New Yorker was a Folk DJ's Choice at NERFA 2019 and her album frequently made the Folk DJ and NACC charts in 2022. “Pirate Queen” received positive reviews from Americana Highways, Glide Magazine, and Guitar Girl magazine. Her choral arrangement of her song “White Flag” went viral in 2018 and as a result has been performed by choirs across the United States and Canada.
