Music for Your Event

NPR’s Dick Gordon

Profiled on National Public Radio’s “The Story” Cello-Bella pairs Alison Donahue’s polished jazz based vocal stylings and soulful cello with Mike Wilhelm’s blues inspired guitar and vocals.  Together they work magic as they mine the American songbook to bring you a varied selection of jazz, swing, and pop standards from the 20s to the current day.  Songs like “Paper Moon”, “What A Wonderful World”, “Georgia On My Mind” and “The Girl From Ipanema” will have you smiling, bouncing in your seat, and looking for someone to dance with.  Mike brings some great original tunes, as well as a few rock standards, country classics……. even a selection of kids songs!  Fun music for all ages!

The Story of how Cello-bella was formed, and how we use our music to create joy was a feature story on National Public Radio’s  “The Story with Dick Gordon”.  Here’s a clip from the broadcast (below).

Bringing music to independent, assisted living, and memory care audiences. I love performing songs from the 1920’s – 1960’s, and using these great tunes to engage everyone. It’s a lively show!
