Fusing psychedelic grooves with northeast Brazilian rhythms and Tropicalia influences of the Brazilian late 60s era, Brazilian Canadian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist JER creates an eclectic sound that challenges preconceived notions of what constitutes traditional Brazilian music.

Born in the state of Bahia, JER is a musical sensation whose enchanting vocals, soulful melodies, and captivating stage presence have made her a prominent figure in the contemporary music scene. With roots deeply embedded in Brazil's rich cultural tapestry, JER's journey to musical stardom is a testament to her unyielding passion and artistic integrity. Over the course of a decade she has cultivated several impressive musical projects that span different genres and across continents. Her participation in Canada’s musical scene is something continuous and wide reaching. JER has performed at the Lulaworld, MIXTO, Calgary Folk festivals and is working on her first full length album to be released in 2024, following-up on her single, ‘Broken' released on the Lulaworld label in December 2022.

As JER continues to rise on both national and international stages, she remains a symbol of Brazil's musical heritage and its capacity for innovation. With each new release, she invites listeners to join her on a sonic journey that explores the intersection of tradition and modernity, while consistently delivering performances that leave audiences in awe. JER's story is one of resilience, authenticity, and unwavering dedication to her craft, making her a true Brazilian musical icon whose influence will undoubtedly resonate for generations to come.

Backed by May Saxophone, Andrew Pacheco on bass, João Leão on keys and Dhaivat Jani on drums, JER transcends musical boundaries drawing on the players' roots in Canadian, Japanese, Brazilian and Indian cultures.
