Jodee + Nicole

Nicole Hand and Jodee Richardson are established professional Newfoundland artists who now work as a composing/arranging/performing duo, both on their own and as part of larger projects. 

As Jodee + Nicole, the two have performed together frequently throughout their two-year partnership, reimagining original songs and beloved covers for various concert series and festivals as well as making regular appearances in St. John’s.

Their duo sound is a blend of their individual strengths and results in a variety of instrument combinations, drawing from acoustic guitar, saxophones, piano, vocals, melodica and omnichord. They have played to large theatres and intimate rooms with their set of well-known tunes of all genres, featuring original songs, stories and recitations inspired by Newfoundland culture and experiences.

Aside from their independent careers, Jodee and Nicole have shared the stage as rock musicians over the years with collaborations between the Pathological Lovers/Fur Packed Action and members of saxophone band Ouroboros as recently as June 2023. The two also overlap in the Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra, where Nicole plays bassoon and Jodee is a frequent featured artist, and Perchance Theatre, where they both work on the creative design and performance teams throughout the summer season. Their newest project, nine-member original band Hit Piece, will debut at the Writers at Wood Point Festival in August 2024.
