Belle-Skinner is a dark nostalgic singer-songwriter based in New York. Though her influences cover a broad range of genres - from French chansons and Russian folk to contemporary alt-pop and jazz - her voice often draws comparisons to the likes of Joni Mitchell, Astrud Gilberto, Mary Hopkin, and early St. Vincent. Joined by Tyler Giroux on piano and special guest Mike Richmond on upright bass as The Easy Speaks, Belle-Skinner will play and sing her favorite jazz songs, as well as many of her own original jazz compositions.

He performs with his own groups, as well as Alex Torres and His Latin Orchestra, GNP, the Dylan Perrillo Quintet, The Giroux Brothers, The Brass Machine, and several other local musicians.
