Face-melting audiences since 1996, this Guelph original consistently mesmerizes with her other-worldly gift of voice and spirit. Jessy Bell Smith sees each moment on stage as an opportunity to connect with deeper currents of collective remembering. Her style is described as a tour through 20th century music and is as unexpected as a car radio set on scan, seamlessly shifting through divergent musical references, from Kate Bush to Puccini to Hank Williams. With jaw-dropping technical mastery, her thoughtfulness in writing and fearlessness in surrender, make this artist an important local treasure not to be missed.
