Bella and the Bourbon Boys are a jazz band with a difference, breathing new life into classic music. Drawing on influences such as American internet sensation Postmodern Jukebox, the band take jazz standards and modern songs and serve them up with a twist. You can expect to hear anything from “Livin' on a Prayer” as a blues to “Rockabye” as a samba; and of course your favourite jazz standards from artists such as Peggy Lee and Ella Fitzgerald.
The band is led by pianist and arranger Mike Paul-Smith and South African jazz vocalist Amy Walton, who between them write all the band's arrangements and have performed at prestigious venues including Ronnie Scotts, Hideaway Streatham, The London Jazz Festival, The Montreux Jazz Festival and The North Sea Jazz Festival.
The band’s 2020 shows will also include original songs written by Amy Cat Walton from her upcoming EP – Amy weaves her love of jazz into a fresh pop narrative that blurs the line between genres.
Join the band for a great night of jazz classics and original songs.
