Mr.Lonesome and The Bluebelles perform playful, original arrangements of forgotten tunes from the 20's,30's ,doo wop era and beyond. With dreamy honey-tongued harmonies, The Bluebelles along with their Lonesome friend Steve bring a splash of modern cartoony fun to tongue -in cheek ditties and melancholy love songs of yester year.
We like- dancin', cabarets, doggies, shoes, busking in Europe, burlesque shows , twin peaks (the series), City of lost children (the movie), good food and good wine. We are- prone to fits of giggles. Hopes and Dreams are - to travel more -Europe and Japan and to Tango in Buenes Aires and Flamenco in Barcelona..

My breath has gone! You are amazing! So very very glad I did some research to see what Ms. Denike has done besides Dancehall Crashers. I just want to say you have inspired me to keep singing for about 10 years now. Thank you!! My best wishes for a longlasting career!
knees weaken time stands still gizzards wriggle kegels intensify the men shouting inside my head stop shouting and my big toe shoots up in my boot whenever I'm with you
Super cooool music!You should visit Athens.I can give you some contact lines to talk with the owners of our precious 3 (only) jazz clubs if you ever like to do it in the future.Till then keep up the good work thanx for the add and cheers from Greece
how come i never get to sing any songs when i play with the bluebelles? just because i can't sing in tune or remember any lyrics doesn't mean i'm a bad person. you should really be more considerate ... musicians have feelings too!
Thanks for a Great Show at Annaz last weekend! I brought my mom and a few friends. Everyone loved it - especially mom. Looking forward to seeing you at Cafe Revolution.
