NICO PAULO + special guest BATTS
About
Nico Paulo, a Portuguese-Canadian musician and visual artist tours Australia for the first time performing at Port Fairy Folk Festival, Nannup Music Festival and Blue Mountains Music Festival and more.Her critically-acclaimed, self-titled debut (April 2023) introduced listeners to her melodically dynamic, open-hearted songwriting as she explored the interconnected nature of relationships and the flow of time in lush, sophisticated pop arrangements. Her new EP, Interval_o (March 2025), finds presence in the process of becoming, celebrating transformational time with intuitive songwriting in warm ambient and minimalist soundscapes.
Paulo moved to Canada in 2014 to pursue her art and music, originally setting down roots in Toronto and installing herself in the city’s vibrant creative community. In the early 2020s, she moved east to St. John’s and became an essential part of Newfoundland’s celebrated music scene. Lighting out from her home base on the island, Paulo has established herself as a spellbinding live performer—warbling, swooning, fluttering, dancing—on stages around the world.
Opening proceedings will be local musician and space enthusiast BATTS.
The Tav is a standing room only venue. Seating can be provided for people with a disability.
