Steve Boudreau

Steve Boudreau is an Ottawa-based pianist who specializes in jazz and popular music. He has performed and taught across North America and parts of Europe, including performances as a leader and a sideman at various jazz festivals, theatres and clubs. In recent years, Steve has been busy composing, performing and recording original music. A grant from The Canada Council for the Arts helped produce a 5-CD solo piano set, all recorded from home during the pandemic-related lockdowns. Upon completion of this large scale solo project, Steve reached out to Montreal bassist Adrian Vedady to book a day at Boutique de Son to record some music for piano trio with drummer Jim Doxas. The single day of recording turned into the album Cherished Possessions, which was released in April 2022 to positive reviews. David Reed of The Belleville Intelligencer wrote: “Boudreau’s playing is warm and his phrasing is smooth. Vedady and Doxas pulse like one finely-tuned engine. Every song is a highlight and the album deserves to be listened to in its entirety, with good headphones.” Newest releases include "Steve Boudreau plays Jerome Kern", Kellylee Evans' "Winter Song", F8-Bit's eponymous EP, and David Renaud's "Journey". Currently Steve keeps busy teaching a full studio of private students, as well as weekly online group classes that are open to the public.
