After a long career on the Toronto music scene, both as a teacher and performer, he relocated to Picton, Ontario, where he has lived for eight years. Legere’s guitar and vocal stylings have roots in jazz, blues, rock, and folk—genres collectively referred to as “Americana.” He leads the Brian Legere Quartet, which has performed at various venues, including The Waring House in Picton, Ontario. In addition to his performances, Legere serves as the Artistic Director of the Prince Edward County Jazz Festival. |
