Belle-Skinner at The Eleven at Lark Hall

Belle-Skinner is a dark nostalgic singer-songwriter based in New York. With a hauntingly beautiful, lilting soprano and innate sense of melody she crafts tales of songbirds, sirens and desert nomads - nuanced and layered stories which bridge the gap between past and present. Though her influences cover a broad range of genres - from French chansons and Russian folk to contemporary alt-pop and rock - her voice often draws comparisons to the likes of Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush, Jeff Buckley, Mary Hopkin, and early St. Vincent.

Opening for acts such as Mitski, Cautious Clay, Ondara, Rhett Miller (Old 97s), Sean Rowe, Mikaela Davis, Saint Saviour (Groove Armada), and Bill Ryder-Jones (Arctic Monkeys), she has performed at venerated venues like The Linda Performing Arts Center, Proctor's Theatre, The Bluebird Cafe, Bowery Ballroom, Caffe Lena, and the Roundhouse Theatre in London.

She has been a finalist in numerous prestigious songwriting competitions including Telluride Troubadour Competition, Rocky Mountain Folks Festival Competition, The Great American Songwriting Contest, SolarFest’s Songwriter Showcase - and most recently the 2022 Grassy Hill New Folk Competition at Kerrville Folk Festival and winner of the 2022 Tarrytown Music Hall Rock the Hall Competition.

She has released 7 records since 2015: Operator, We Shut Our Eyes, Violets, The Early Covers, There Grows A Tree In Paradise, Love Spell - and most recently a live Joni Mitchell tribute album (now streaming everywhere). Her songs have been featured on several Spotify editorial playlists, and have garnered over 1 million streams worldwide.
