Florence Joelle

Get ready for the chanteuse Time Out called: “Super fine and sassy” “fusing a Tarrantino sense of cool, with a vocal style that imbibes both Peggy Lee and Edith Piaf.” Don’t think you can get a better endorsement than that, but we’ll try! Parisian singer, songwriter, and harmonica player, Florence Joelle, heads up this fantastic band, and their Franco/Anglo style shines brilliantly Florence Joelle is based in London, where she is a favourite performer across the city. Bred on jazz at home, and on the music of the Paris streets, she has created a musical subgenre all of her own with her albums, Kiss Of Fire, Stealing Flowers and Life Is Beautiful If You Let It, a Franco-Anglo blend of Latin and classic jazz, vintage and contemporary blues, gypsy folk, fifties R&B and Parisian torch song. Joelle’s authentic, organic sound, although deeply rooted in the past, vibrates in the present. Classic jazz, French chanson and old-style R&B happily rub shoulders in her compositions Her three albums have received 4 star reviews in national newspapers like the Independent and the Mirror, and in music publications like Mojo, Q magazine and Jazzwise. Her songs have been played on radio stations like the BBC and Jazz Fm.
