“One of the most versatile and imposing musicians of her generation,” raves the WALL STREET JOURNAL. “Ms. Skonberg has become the shining hope of hot jazz, on the strength of a clarion trumpet style indebted to Louis Armstrong, a smooth purr of a singing voice inspired by Anita ODay,” says the NEW YORK TIMES.
Juno Award-Winning Trumpeter, Singer & Songwriter BRIA SKONBERG's accolades include 6x-"Downbeat Magazine Rising Star", the Jazz at Lincoln Center "Swing Award", "Best Vocal" and "Best Trumpet" from Hot House Jazz Magazine and "Outstanding Jazz Artist" at the Bistro Awards. Bria Skonberg tours constantly bringing her own signature sounds of fiery trumpet playing, smoky vocals and story-telling together with adventurous concoctions of classic and new. A 3x-Juno Award Nominee, Bria's debut LP on Sony Masterworks won for "Best Jazz Vocal Album" and made the Top 5 on Billboard Jazz Charts. Bria has recorded on over 25 albums and recently released her acclaimed sixth studio solo album "Nothing Never Happens" consisting of mostly original compositions. Her music has garnered over 13 million streams online. Bria has performed with Jon Batiste, Wycliffe Gordon, Stephane Wrembel, Steven Bernstein, U2 & Sun Ra Arkestra, The American Pops and Vancouver Symphony Orchestras, among others.
