2021 JUNO Award winner Jocelyn Gould has been called “a leader in the next generation of great mainstream jazz guitarists” by Howard Paul, CEO of Benedetto Guitars.

Her joyful energy has captivated audiences around the world and her passion for music is as infectious as her unique ability to connect with audiences. Jocelyn has absorbed the influences of the jazz guitar greats and has woven them into an exciting personal sound, citing Wes Montgomery, Grant Green, Joe Pass and Kenny Burrell as primary influences on the guitar.

Jocelyn has performed and recorded internationally as a leader and with GRAMMY-nominated vocalist Freddy Cole, JUNO-winning trumpeter and vocalist Bria Skonberg, DownBeat Trombonist of the Year Michael Dease, Etienne Charles, Jon Gordon, Rodney Whitaker, Randy Napoleon and Diego Rivera.

Jocelyn’s debut album, Elegant Traveler, won the 2021 JUNO Award for Jazz Album of the Year: Solo. Golden Hour, her sophomore album, received international critical acclaim and reached #1 on Canadian and #9 on North American college radio jazz charts. Her Golden Hour Tour in summer 2022 showcased her music at 11 Canadian Jazz Festivals.

In 2023-2024 Jocelyn toured extensively, including a two-month North American tour with Bria Skonberg and Benny Bennack III and performances throughout Europe and the Middle East.

Jocelyn is thrilled to be releasing her new album Portrait of Right Now this fall, featuring 8 brand new compositions, a burning rendition of Wes Montgomery’s “Jingles,” and her stunning vocals on “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered.”

Jocelyn Gould is a Benedetto-endorsed artist.
