Vocalist Jessica Lalonde partners with award winning pianist Adrean Farrugia to bring a magnetic approach to classic jazz and fresh twists on popular modern-day songs. 

Recognized by Jazz FM91 as one of 8 Canadian Women in Jazz You Need to Know; Jessica is a compelling and eclectic Canadian vocal artist. Her unique and powerful vocal sound blends a wide range of musical influences, transcending genres, and moving easily between jazz, folk, opera and swing. Since her early days as a young singer, she's enjoyed lending her voice to a diverse array of projects ranging from Operatic roles in Vancouver and Italy, to Indie-Rock backing vocals, to New Music, to every major jazz festival in Southern Ontario. 

Multiple Award-winning pianist and composer Adrean Farrugia is a first call pianist nationwide, having performed with a who's who of Canadian and International Jazz. He's performed from Paris to Tokyo, and New York City to Tel-Aviv, bringing his uniquely lyrical piano stylings to more than 60 recordings to date, garnering 8 Juno award nominations and 2 Juno Awards. 

Music is a powerful form of communication that has the power to inspire and nurture both the performer and the listener, as well as revealing a higher sense of being which exists in all people, and it is this belief that drives this duo’s continued journey and commitment to musical sharing and expression. 

Together, they mesmerize audiences with music that is at times hypnotizing, heartfelt, virtuosic, fun, and ultimately a moving experience for listeners.
