Paula Tripodi was born in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1959. Her family moved to California when she was seven years old.  Paula began playing the guitar as a child of ten.  She, her husband, Rocco and their daughter, Sophia, live in the El Morro National Monument area of northwest New Mexico, along Highway 53, also known as The Ancient Way.  Her poems have been previously published in a volume of poetry, "Windtunnels and Wildflowers."  Songwriting was a natural outgrowth of singing and performing at local festivals, campfires and shows, with her husband and daughter and lately as a solo act. Paula has been performing for 23 years.

"Listen to the Wind" contains original songs written over a 15 year period, a majority of which have been composed since moving to the Zuni Mountains. As Paula says in the liner notes of her album: "In the Zuni Mountains of New Mexico, high in the clear air along the Continental Divide, the deep blue of the daytime sky, the countless brilliant nighttime stars and the broad vistas of the landscape inspire the wiritng of songs."  She is very gratified by the positive response to her first CD, and has begun working on a new batch of songs which we hope to record in the future.
