At 11, Bella McKendree started writing songs acapella. Soon afterwards, she added the piano. During this time, she was inspired by the blues and gospel music while starting to record in her dad’s garage-turned- studio. Throughout her teens, McKendree continued to cultivate her style. At 14 she began training in classical singing and at 17, her sister introduced her to the music of Jeff Buckley.  She is now releasing her debute LP, Silver Birch, on the heels of her successful 2017 E.P. Waiting. Her new album was recorded at Rak Studios and produced by Sean Hatton (Roo Panes), the album crosses an array of styles: from alt rock (Tori Amos, Wolf Alice) to Indie Folk (Fleet Foxes, Nick Mulvey). With eleven tracks that contains solid songwriting and McKendree’s wonderful singing.
