Formed in 2013, Les Royal Pickles are stand outs on the Montreal Jazz and Swing scene.

So whether you are a fan of royalty, pickles, or even swing and hot jazz, you’ll love Les Royal Pickles!  The band is comprised of Jeffrey Moseley (Guitar), Mélisande Archambault (violin, washboard, voice), Christian Leclerc (tuba, voice), Alex Bouchard (trombone, voice), Louis Levesque  (voice, banjo), Aurélien Tomasi (clarinet, saxophone, voice).

“I like cheeseburgers and pickle. Nice cheese and pickle on a real old-fashioned bread. Plowman’s lunch.” -Gary Oldman
