Event Details

Award-winning Washington DC based VERONNEAU defy categorization.  At the core, the husband-and-wife duo – Quebecoise vocalist Lynn Veronneau and UK guitarist Ken Avis – translate the themes of their musical journeys into captivating multilingual performances with spirited, jazzy, retro, soulful original songs and classics from the worlds of bossa nova, French chanson, folk, blues and pop. 

VERONNEAU delights through Lynn’s spectacular voice, her heartfelt and artful delivery of the lyrics and through Ken’s brilliant and vibrant playfulness on the guitar. They play off one another, carefully choosing songs for their powerful melodies and imagery. 

VERONNEAU have built a devoted following through constant performances and recordings. Since their 2011 debut album “Joie De Vivre/Joy of Living,” which includes their hit “La Mer”, streamed over a million times on Spotify, they have released three Top 10 charting studio albums, two acclaimed live full-length albums and several singles with a variety of collaborators. From international festivals to legendary clubs and intimate theaters VERONNEAU performs with a wide range of artists. Constantly exploring they delight in working across disciplines from dance, theater and cinema alongside jazz and world musicians. They tell stories that inspire and unite. VERONNEAU is fresh, fun and undoubtedly beautiful.
