Free Concert at Pickin’ Palace Friday, Belle Back Saturday

The Pickin’ Palace will feature the local talent of Sarah Griffin and Dillon Horton Friday night as they perform their unique style of country music.  This entertaining duo will have your toes tapping and hands clapping as they begin the show at 6:00PM.

Right next door, The Feed Store Cafe will open at 11:00AM with their always uniquely delectable fare with delicious catfish dinners and grilled steaks available beginning at 5:00PM until 9:00PM. 

"Mauva Belle’s smooth vocals and exciting stage show will be the feature act at the Pickin’ Palace Saturday night at 7:00PM. Belle will soothe your soul and ignite your spirit during her high octane performance.  Her band Hot Water keeps the audience dancing all night! Mauva Belle & Hot Water pleases everyone with a high-energy show filled with your favorite songs from today and yesterday!" 

The Pickin’ Palace venue, evoking the décor of a true Texas dance hall, is the perfect place to showcase Belle’s talent for various musical styles.  A nominal $10 cover charge will let you see this one of a kind vocal stylist.

Born in the Ponchartrain Park area of New Orleans, Mauva Belle has been inspired by music from her early years.  She started out as many young talents do, singing in her church choir and winning area voice competitions as a teen.  In 1995, she decided to take her passion one step further.  She moved to Seattle in 1995 along with her band Mauva's Bathtub R&B to begin her professional music career.

For a sample of Belle's music click on this link below http://www.mauvabelle.com/ .

Rainy Seattle was a great backdrop for the blues, and Mauva enjoyed regular performances with her band at the Central Tavern, the Port Townsend Blues Festival, as well as often playing in a piano bar duet.  She took her show abroad in 2000, sharing her soulful talents at several stops in Italy.

After these experiences, Mauva felt the gravitational pull of New Orleans calling her home.  She returned and immediately launched a very active show schedule in the French Quarter and local music scene.  Even today, she is inspired to remember her proudest New Orleans performance - singing at the Aretha Franklin Revue at the Cabaret Le Chat Noir.
