LONDON, ONTARIO, Canada, July 22, 2015 /Christian Newswire/ -- Unknown to the masses, he just may be a best kept secret. Paul hit the stage for a few years, opening for such artists as Randy Stonehill, Brian Duncan, Point of Grace, and performed at many festivals, sharing the stage with other local bands and larger groups like Jars Of Clay. Although a simple beginning, Rivard's first Christian CD was soon awarded "Contemporary Rock Recording" & "Artist of the Year" by a Canadian association called Maja Awards.

This artist had a great running start, however, as an independent artist, he needed steady finances in order to continue with sharing his music. His keen eye for vision and business drove him to take some time to develop a company called TicketWindow.ca, an online box office service for Christian and family events. With all the success of a business, now it's time to truly do what he desires. Paul's love and passion for music and songwriting couldn't keep him away, and you can hear such passion in his latest CD "Are You Listening."

Rivard has been writing songs for over 30 years. He is an artist who has emerged from a generation in the wake of the influences such as Petra, Jars of Clay and Avalon, Journey, and Foreigner.

As a matter of fact, when Petra's lead guitar player, Bob Hartman was stuck in a New York airport, it was Paul Rivard who stepped in at a moments notice, with great honor, to take Bob's place.

Rivard's music today is reaching audiences with his brand new CD release, "Are You Listening." The CD features a collection of 10 songs with Rivard's current sound and messages aimed at driving the heart closer to God. "Are You Listening" is ready for radio adds, with the first single from the CD "Bring You Back."
