Pop-noir singer-songwriter and harpist Lucinda Belle has strutted through the traditional notions of the harp as a classical or orchestral instrument. In her path, she’s paved the way for a signature artistry that melds the white-gloved elegance of classic Hollywood with smart hooks and playful pan-genre appropriation. “The girl with the harp is who I am,” affirms Lucinda Belle. “I want to present a different perspective of what can be done with the instrument.” Lucinda’s music is a portal into a seductive and anachronistic world where jazz, soul, gypsy jazz, blues, and reggae merge into her unique sound. You’ll find referential signposts as diverse as Peggy Lee, Louis Prima, Verdi, Jobim, and the Great American Songbook.<br>
