Adey Bell – “A Unique, Magical Performance”

||| FROM ORCAS CENTER |||

Adey Bell, a mystical vocalist, pianist, and composer from a small town in Montana, returns to Orcas Center on Sunday, September 29 at 7pm.

Adey’s ethereal, yet powerful music explores themes of personal transformation and spiritual awakening. Through the elegant arrangements of her albums or the energizing power of her live shows, Adey’s haunting melodies seduce us into feeling more deeply into the places within where we often fear to tread. Her rich, nimble and dusky vocal character effortlessly fuses classical, pop and jazz vocal styles, making her original compositions beyond classification.

Adey has composed, produced, and performed both as a solo artist and with her gifted ensemble, Venus Exalted. She has commercially released more than fifty songs across five studio albums, two live albums, and one film score. Adey has graced the stage at hundreds of live concerts and theater performances, including at the Orcas Center and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival Green Show. Come find truth, vulnerability, and transcendence in the shadows she illuminates.

“Piano-players have been my idols since I was a girl, and I always thrilled at the true seducers of the piano. . . Ray Charles, Carole King, Elton John, Billy Joel, Diana Krall…. Time moves on, and great pianists have left their audiences. And thank God, new ones come along. Such is Adey Bell. Her presence at the piano is a unique, magical performance as she weaves her stories and passions with this magnificent ‘axe.’…” – Margie Doyle, Orcas Issues, August 28, 2017
