WHERE WILL I BE COOKING:

Maggie Belle emerged on the music scene in 2013 in New Orleans, gaining inspiration from Rhythm & Blues, Soul, and Pop, creating a unique sound all her own. Maggie has made appearances at New Orleans’ very own Jazz & Heritage Festival and Bayou Boogaloo, Texas’ River Revival Festival, as well as San Jose’s Summer Jazz Festival.

Amidst her performance success, Maggie works as a full time registered nurse in the ICU and Brian as an accomplished Media Arts school teacher.

“Hold Me” Maggie’s newest single off her forthcoming album produced by Eric Heigle (Arcade Fire, Colin Lake, Dumpstaphunk) to be released later this year, wraps soulful lyrics with modern jazz and blues influences, perfect for cooling off in the heat of the summer.
