At the core of the group is a husband-and-wife duo. Quebecoise vocalist Lynn Veronneau and UK guitarist Ken Avis translate the themes of their musical journeys into captivating multilingual performances of classics and original tunes from the worlds of bossa nova, French chanson, folk, blues, pop and jazz. If you missed the Summer Olymics in Paris this year, no worries. Join the Peerless Rens audience and be transported musically to the banks of the Seine.

Veronneau has toured in Spain, Portugal, France, Switzerland, UK, the USA and Canada, appearing live on BBC radio and at prestigious venues such as Kennedy Center, Strathmore, The Hamilton and Blues Alley, enjoying numerous sold out shows. They've earned seven WAMMIE awards for Best Vocals, Band and Recording Artists. Among their many memorable theme shows is the recently added “Blue Tapestry,” celebrating milestone albums by Joni Mitchell and Carol King in story and song.
