Jet Black Pearl

Wild Accordion Diva

Hailing from the Netherlands, accordion songstress Jet Black Pearl has performed in big tops, prisons, living rooms, tunnels, garden sheds, barges, and ancient ruins across the globe. She spent many years in France-long enough to earn a few French songwriting awards (mais oui!)-before relocating to Portland. These days she sings in English and French... always with a Dutch accent.

Smartly wacky, her songs are a mad hatter's European party with a funky attitude. Using a loop station, she builds grooves with flute, vocal percussion, and harmonies while squeezing one hot accordion-creating a show that's as surprising as it is captivating.

'A formidable force of music, and truly has to be seen to be believed'
(Three Weeks, Edinburgh Fringe Festival).
