Craig Paquette
is a guitarist, singer, songwriter

“Back Together” is the second solo album by Minneapolis musician and Thunderheads member Craig Paquette. 

In the midst of writing songs during the summer and winter of 2020/21, he located a book of poetry published in 1940 by his grandfather, Donald J Paquette Sr. Reading the poetry, he began to feel a deep connection to a lost and never discussed part of his family’s past. Many of the poems speak of the turbulent times in the late 1930’s and reflect the times we are currently living in. The poems soon became the topic and provided much of the lyrics for four new songs as well as inspiration to continue writing the reminder of songs included on this album. 

Like his first solo album, 2019’s “Won’t Last Forever”, “Back Together” was recorded at Sparta Sound Studios with Rich Mattson, long time Thunderheads bandmates Steve Blexrud and William Boyce, Al Oikari, Keely Lane, Colleen Martin Oake and Bruce Paquette all contributing.
