Veronneau (Samba/Bossa Nova)

Lynn Véronneau is well-known for her gentle, compelling, warm voice and her love of powerful melodies. Her solo album, Something Cool – a collection of jazz standards, pop, and blues – attracted kudos from critics, radio stations and public alike. The French Canadian singer brings an effortless technique to her heartfelt interpretations in the jazz style. Lynn has performed throughout Canada, Europe and the US and recorded in her own right and as a session vocalist for others.

Lynn met and performed with her musical soul mate and husband, guitar player, singer/songwriter Ken Avis in Switzerland, before moving to the US and adding guitarist David Rosenblatt to the mix.

David Rosenblatt developed his love of Brazilian acoustic guitar as a child living in Rio. He subsequently crafted his sound in Brazil and San Francisco with study and live performance. David’s beautiful solo compositions, “Opening of Summer,” and “September Moon” are featured on the Veronneau CD’s.

Ken Avis has devoted himself to exploring blues, jazz and roots music. Ken was the vocalist for five years with the renowned (WC Handy Award winning) Otis Grand blues band and has performed throughout the UK, Europe and the US with various bands. He is also a regular contributing writer to Capitalbop magazine and has been published in other magazines such as the UK’s Jazz Journal, and has been honored to be a mentor to musicians for the prestigious Strathmore Artists-in-Residence series . Ken is a Cordoba Guitars Artist Ambassador.
