Since their 2010 launch, the international acoustic quartet Veronneau has delighted audiences in North America, Europe, and beyond with their world jazz and pop.

Their 2012 album "Jazz Samba Project" celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Getz/Byrd Jazz Samba album and went into the jazz top 10 and made top ten lists of radio stations in dozens of cities from Toronto to San Diego, and New Orleans to Maine.
