Lynn Véronneau &
Ken Avis

Québécoise vocalist Lynn Véronneau, a classically trained soprano, embraces music ranging from Jazz to Folk, Blues and Pop. Her versatile, soft and exuberant voice conveys every shade of the spectrum. At ease on stage and the studio she has performed in Italian operas, recitals, clubs and festivals in France, Switzerland, Canada and the US. Lynn's independent debut CD Something Cool showcases the sensitivity of her performance, sometimes delicate, sometimes explosive. Recorded in Québec with young Canadian Jazz musicians. It was voted among the top 10 releases of the year by Canadian station CFLX 95.5 FM radio DJs. Her voice has also been heard on various independent recordings and Canadian TV.

English guitarist/singer/songwriter Ken Avis has over 20 years performance experience both in solo and band settings. In London, Ken has spent 5 years as lead singer for WC Handy award winning swing/blues band, Otis Grand & the Dance Kings. Before embracing the acoustic genre he crafted his unique signature sound playing Rock, Blues, Funk & Soul from Liverpool to Paris, Geneva to DC. During recent years he has worked with Julie Sanderson and Rebecca McCabe and shared the stage with the Gene Philips Band, Freedy Johnson, and Stacy Earle to name a few.

The duo's 8 year collaboration has proven that opposites not only attract but can fuse in the most dynamic fashion, yielding a musical concoction as intimate as it is universal.
