Only 2 weeks awayđ€âïž Join us at 2 NOLA HOT SPOTSâ€ïžâđ„ 30/90 NOLA & The AllWays Lounge & Cabaret I am honored to perform with Bob & local cats. Come grab a catfish poâboy, Abita Amber, a hurricane, a CD, & sit down for a spell to jazz in the heart of where it was created. Youâll see the Bella Joan interpretation with a taste of New Orleansđ Pinch me⊠Bella Joan is a dynamic jazz singer/songwriter who weaves jazz, soul, blues, and R&B into a sound that swings while both dreamy and bold. Born in Milwaukee, WI, and later raised in Vermont's Green Mountains, she grew up in a musical family and started singing and songwriting in handmade books at an early age, revealing her natural ear and spontaneity.
Her voice moves like a spell- smooth, soulful, silky, scat, raw emotion, and fearless improvisation. Fronting her band, formerly known as Bella and The Notables, she brings fire to the stage and depth to every note. As a board-certified music therapist, she sees music as both ritual and remedy.
Her debut album, Bella Joan, recorded at the iconic Tank Studio and arranged/co-produced by Sam Atallah, is a vivid portrait and genre-blending journey rooted in jazz and reaching for the cosmic, raw and real, with fire and grace.
In October 2025, Bella has a mini album tour with shows featuring standards and originals. Shows are booked in New Orleans, Louisiana (at 30/-90 and The AllWays Cabaret Lounge & Cabaret) with the Bob Gagnon Quartet (Steve Sawyer, Josh Smith, Norbert Susemihl), in Montreal, Quebec (at La Petite Marche) with Bob Gagnon and Rob Duguay, in Burlington, Vermont (at The 126) with Bob Gagnon, Tom Teare, and Brent Thomas, and in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (at Bar Centro) with Keith Johnson and Aaron Johnson.
