Hailing from Chilliwack, BC, and now living in New York City, award winning trumpeter / vocalist / composer Bria Skonberg is “poised to be one of the most versatile and imposing musicians of her generation.”- Wall Street Journal

The Bria Skonberg Quintet is a powerhouse combination of emerging talent in the New York jazz scene. Within the last two years, Skonberg has earned a Jazz Journalists’ Association nomination for “Up-and-coming Jazz Artist of the Year,” was included in Downbeat Magazine’s Rising Star Critics’ Poll, and was honored with a NY Bistro Award for “Outstanding Jazz Artist.” Best known for her knowledge of classic jazz and instigative nature, she is creating a style rooted in hot jazz, world percussion, soul and modern effects.
