Véronneau is an acoustic, song-based group playing Latin Jazz, Gypsy Swing and much more. Equally at home in an intimate jazz club, world music or folk festival, Véronneau are audience favorites performing in English, French and Spanish. Lynn Véronneau lights up the stage, engaging the audience with her vocal interpretations. The acoustic guitars of Ken Avis and David Rosenblatt and percussion of Pete Walby provide the rhythm, harmony and energy to propel the music from Brazilian samba, to French chanson to standards of The American Songbook.

Together they bring fluidity and playfulness to the tunes. The multi-national band performs music inspired by jazz from around the world. Pieces such as "Blue Skies," "La Mer," and "Like the Gentle Rain” reflect their distinctive original sound, authentic but never conventional.

Véronneau's first album release Joie de Vivre (Joy of Living) quickly climbed  into the top of Jazz Week's World Music chart and reached Top 10 status in a number of North American stations. It enjoyed airplay in Canada, England and Scotland where the band toured in 2011 playing festivals and club dates supported with live radio performances and interviews on BBC Radio and Radio Canada.

Canadian jazz critic and audiophile Jordan Richardson commented on the new recording, "The album is a cultural compendium of musical styles surrounding an astonishing voice - an exciting offering for those thirsting for something unique and beautiful."

Since forming in 2010 Véronneau's multi-national musicians, currently based in Northern Virginia, have delighted audiences at clubs concerts and festivals. The band continues to pack a monthly gig for an international audience at Washington DC's fabulous Bistrot Lepic.
