“'Blue Tapestry' stands apart for its honesty and intimacy. It reminds us why these songs mattered then—and why they still do now. It’s both homage and continuation, a testament to how timeless music evolves when passed through loving hands. In short: VERONNEAU’s Blue Tapestry is a warm, intelligent, and deeply felt tribute—an album that rekindles the magic of Mitchell and King while quietly writing a new chapter in the same lineage.” - Iain Johnson

“Lynn Veronneau's satiny voice and subtle timbre, Ken Avis's chiaroscuro guitar, and Joe Martinez's masterful percussion, bass, and keyboards weaves a breathing folk-jazz, an album of raw emotion, of breath, of meticulously balanced sound, capable of making us hear today what was revolutionary about these melodies yesterday: the audacity to speak softly. 'Blue Tapestry' impresses because it embraces modesty as a high-fashion strategy. Standards gain a second skin, neither vintage nor rebooted, but vibrant. For programmers seeking elegant respites, for night owls who prefer embers to sparks, for those who know that a well-placed whisper is worth a wall of sound: this album is a refuge.”

“As summer concert season rolls in there's one band whose music seems perfect for a relaxed afternoon, escaping your worries under the sun. Veronneau's music engages a sort of sundry nostalgia, pulling together the sounds of 1960's Brazilian beaches with old film sets on the Riviera...." ” - Giovanni Russonello

“The music was just so perfectly soothing on a warm, summer night. They ended with a lively and unique rendition of the much over-worked "Brazil," but it was the perfect ending anthem for a very entertaining evening. A lot of Jazz musicians play Bossa Nova/Samba standards, but Veronneau has the strength to stand on its own and they owe their allegiance to no one".” - Ed Henry
