More about Belle Plaine:

Belle Plaine is an acoustic-guitar playing, storytelling vocalist whose debut full-length album, Notes From A Waitress, reached #3 on the !earshot National Jazz Chart. Describing the album, Belle Plains says, “I wanted the songs to read as a travelogue from the other side of the world and back. They’re like souvenirs from each journey. It’s my throwback to the vocal jazz of the 1960s. Think of Peggy Lee and Julie London. I created Notes From A Waitress in the spirit of these artists.”   www.belleplainemusic.com/
