- Rob Frayne, musician/composer

For jazz lovers, The Megan Jerome Trio is a breath of fresh air. The simple and funky rhythms complement Jeromeâs sunshiny voice perfectly.
- Lousie Daniels, Ottawa Sun

Well, weâll call it jazz, but the sophomore release by this often-quirky Ottawa trio has enough folk and cabaret and country bubbling through it that labels are even more pointless than usual. Whatâs relevant is that, as with their debut album Unlonely, lead singer and pianist Jerome, percussionist Mike Essoudry, and all-around instrumentalist Petr Cancura know how to have fun while creating evocative moods and vignettes peopled by mining engineers, campfire fans and blissful lovers.
Thereâs room for everyone and everything in these songs, a happy fact underscored by Jeromeâs beguiling, open-hearted vocals. With winter creeping in, the crystalline, melodica-accompanied track Skating deserves a special listen: sweet and whimsical and crisp, itâs everything thatâs best about the trio.
- Patrick Langston, The Ottawa Citizen.

Megan and her trio were a delight to work with and fit beautifully into festival workshop sessions.
