Anatole (also known as "Annie" to all his fans and friends) is one of the most entertaining and talented frontmen to ever lead a band.

    Starting out back in 1964 by singing and playing drums with the original "Annie and the Orphans", he and his bass-playin' pal, Bob McNab used to haul their band equipment around in an orange '55 Chevy Nomad. The Chevy, Bob and Annie are still rockin' to this day, the only difference being that Mr. Paquette now fronts the band with his warm personality and dynamic showmanship. Annie has entertained audiences from Maine to Florida and can be seem most of the time at venues around the Lakes Region including the M/S Mount Washington.
