  <itunes:subtitle>Anyone who's ever doubted the power of music has never met nor seen the band Veronneau, the D.C.-based jazz trio that's been making waves for the past 10 years. In this episode we speak with Lynn Veronneau and Ken Avis, the real-life couple that is the bedrock upon which the band is based. And once you hear their story, you'll understand just how powerful music really is.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description> Yes, music really can change your life. Just ask Lynn Veronneau and Ken Avis of the D.C.-based jazz trio Veronneau. A chance meeting in Switzerland in the early 90s started these two musical nomads down the road that would take them all over the world. The band's story is incredible on it's own--Lynn is a native French speaker from outside Montreal, Ken hails from the North of England, and David Rosenblatt, the incredible guitarist, was raised in Brazil, embracing the music and the language. Lynn can sing comfortably in English, Spanish, Portoguese, and French, allowing the band to explore standards and folk music from all across the globe. But the story behind Lynn and Ken's own relationship is the stuff of movies. Listen in as we explore Veronneau's chart-topping music while getting a glimpse into a unique partnership.
