The Pelletier Lovejoy Jazz Ensemble

Join us in welcoming the Pelletier Lovejoy Jazz Ensemble back to the Musée!

Featured in the band are Shelby Pelletier (front-middle), Cori Lovejoy (front-left), Mickey Carter (front-right), David Wells (Back-left), Carl Gallagher (back-middle), and Jon Simonoff (back-right).

This women-led musical collective is delivering live jazz shows across Northern Maine, tapping into a musical genre that has historically remained male-dominated and has been seldomly listened to or encountered throughout Aroostook County.

Initially beginning as a duo in 2023, Shelby Pelletier and Cori Lovejoy have grown their troupe to include a percussionist-drummer, a bass player and three horns. Together, their performances across an array of venues and sites throughout Aroostook and greater Maine have cultivated a growing number of jazz musicians and enthusiasts.

Come hear the ensemble for yourself as they make their stop into Lille!

Admission is free and/or by donation.

Your donation helps support the arts within Northern Maine, and contributes to the Musée’s mission of restoring and preserving the former church of Notre-Dame du Mont-Carmel, the artefacts of its permanent collection, and the broader grounds of its former parish.
