"Belle Hendrik in full flight! From Blues to Soul we were taken on a journey of classic songs from Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Ruth Brown, Bessie Smith...and a fitting encore with the Tony Joe White classic...”Polk Salad Annie”. In one moment Belle’s voice soared...& in the next... landing sweetly, gently & soulfully on the notes...THANK YOU Belle Hendrik Quartet for entertaining a pretty much full house last night! More photos and a ‘sneak peek’ video up later tonight!
