Paula Verdicchio Ailshie

Music fueled by passion and the creative process produces the energetic connection we all crave in performance. My friend Serena, says music is made up of 2 important parts. One, the artist on stage, and two, the audience. Truly those who love to listen shape my artistry more and more, because I want that dialogue exchanged in the moment.

My performing experience varies widely and includes playing in or with symphony orchestras, jazz combos, folk rock bands, mariachi bands, singer-songwriters, musicals, operas, ballets, dance troupes, chamber orchestras, hybrid indie music and especially, my trio, BLUE AVENUE and my duo, BASSOLIN.

I love collaborating with creative and passionate singer-songwriters, especially in an acoustic setting, but also loud and amplified when the occasion calls for it. I am also widely available summers for tour dates and recording of any kind.
