The Megan Jerome Trio includes Megan Jerome (voice, piano), Petr Cancura (sax, mandolin, voice) and Mike Essoudry (drums, percussion, voice). Megan grew up on Sudbury Sunday singalongs where after-dinner coffee came with family and friends gathered around the piano, playing and singing songs from the 20s through folk tunes, old and new. Petr is a true Bohemian. His musical style fuses folk songs from his native Czech with jazz. Mike is rooted in popular music - rock and jazz, and brings his own blend of groove/riff based playing to the trio.

Megan, Mike and Petr met at Carleton University's music program, and were friends long before the trio took shape. All enjoy teaching and share an open spirit about music-making - clearly evident in performance as well as in smaller workshop settings. The Megan Jerome Trio's sound has grown organically from each member's individual musical styles and from their mutual respect and admiration.

“The trio has a subtle, clear and bouncy delivery, giving the spotlight to a voice that richly deserves it.”
