Jodee + Nicole

Nicole Hand and Jodee Richardson are established Newfoundland musicians whose duo sound is a blend of their individual strengths, drawing from acoustic guitar, saxophone, bassoon, piano and vocals. They have played to large theatres and intimate rooms with their set of well-known tunes of all genres, featuring evocative originals, favourite covers and dynamic stories and recitations, usually inspired by Newfoundland and Labrador culture and experiences.

Their most beloved project is their annual tour of the province where they perform in remote communities and discover new audiences and friends, from St. Lewis in Labrador to Long Island in Green Bay.

Jodee and Nicole have shared the stage over the years with collaborations between rock bands The Pathological Lovers, Fur Packed Action and Ouroboros as well as between Jodee as a featured vocalist and the Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra, where Nicole has been a bassoonist since 2008.

Jodee’s career in music, film and theatre spans over three decades as a writer, director, sound designer and performer. In 2022 the couple began producing their own original, all-ages puppet show around the holidays in aid of local food banks. Their newest endeavour, nine-member original band Hit Piece, has performed at the acclaimed Writers at Wood Point Festival for the past two summers.

Both originally from Conception Bay South, Nicole and Jodee got hitched in 2025 in advance of their Just Married To’er. They currently reside in downtown St. John’s with their dog, Nan.
