Bella Fiorentino live at Venue 505 performing her original music led by her soulful vocals, her guitar and saxophone. Playing alongside Yiss Mill, the man with a symbol and cajon set up, and Nic Malouf, the guitarist mastermind and singer-songwriter of Shirley Crescent.
These three will be serenading you with some experimental soul music influenced by blues and with a grunge to it.

Supported by Billsbry and resident DJ Juzzlikedat

Bella will be raising money for Campus Refugee Action Collective. 
The Campus Refugee Action Collective is a group of Sydney University students that meet regularly to fight for refugee rights, including an end to detention. Kids are off Nauru thanks to the campaign. With more pressure we can force the government to end the cruelty and bring the hundreds of other refugees on Manus and Nauru to safety.

BELLA FIORENTINO

"Bella Fiorentino is the kind of woman that turns up at a party when you are on your way to bed; She convinces you to stay for one more drink and then you end up dancing in a field at dawn two days later with five new friends that have somehow been swept along in her magic. 
She will argue that she is, in fact, a little shy, her pixie-like frame sometimes hidden behind her guitar — she speaks kindly and thoughtfully - but to hear her sing is to understand contradiction. It is wild and raw — a true gypsy sister." Charlie Dugdale

BILLSBRY

Billsbry is the musical alias of Charlie Fisher, a Sydney based musician. Billsbry's sound can best be described as a blend of psychedelic ambient blues using a loop pedal to build his original songs through layering.
