Lynn Veronneau from Québec and Ken Avis from the U.K.
Jazzy, soulful original songs and classics: bossa nova, French chanson, folk, blues and pop,
Including songs of Joni Mitchell and Carole King from Veronneau’s “Blue Tapestry” program
Carpe Diem Arts proudly presents another concert as part of the popular Arts Alive lunchtime concert series presented at Brookletts Place in Easton (400 Brookletts Ave.) in partnership with the Talbot County Senior Center and with funding support from Talbot Arts, the Maryland State Arts Council, Dock Street Foundation, and Upper Shore Aging ℅ Mid-Shore Community Foundation.
The lunchtime concerts are free and open to the public. Performances are scheduled on the Second Tuesdays of the month–September through May–and are welcoming of all ages.
The April 8 concert will feature the award-winning Washington DC based VERONNEAU: the husband-and-wife duo that defies categorization. At the core, Québecoise 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. Included will be songs of Joni Mitchell and Carole King from Veronneau’s popular “Blue Tapestry” program.
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.
Many will remember the duo from their having sold out the Stoltz Listening Room at the Avalon nearly a month in advance—so the January 31, 2024 concert was moved to the main theater and drew a crowd of about 250 people. Don’t miss this chance to see them again in the lovely intimate space of Brookletts Place!
NOTE: Lunch is available at 12 noon for $2.75 with reservations two weeks in advance.
