Live your fantasy and embrace the stranger side of life with Bella's Bartok!

Inspired by elements of Vaudeville, centuries of street performance, and an unyielding drive to promote camaraderie, Northampton, Massachusetts-based Bella’s Bartok delivers a passionate kaleidoscope of sound dubbed as "foot stomping freak folk". The songs are born of Americana and folk music of their immigrant grandparents, blended with the joy of a particular brand of pop sensibility.

Their performances are at once a primal stand against oppression and a declaration of joy in the face of adversity. From quiet reflections on loss, to the howl of justice in four-part harmony, Bella’s Bartok sonically and lyrically delivers a sweaty, soulful dance-party that is sure to leave the audience happily breathless.

Started in the dimly lit alleyways of Great Barrington, MA, Bella’s Bartok gradually evolved from street-punk performers to an electric, brass-filled, accordion-based spectacle that has continued to entertain audiences for nearly a decade. The band has shared the stage with musicians and acts such as Rubblebucket, Red Baraat, The Indigo Girls, Larry & His Flask, The Suitcase Junket, Andy Frasco & The U.N., And the Kids, TOO MANY ZOOZ, Consider the Source, Rough Francis, Meat Puppets, World Inferno/Friendship Society, Jenny and the Mexicats, Rupa & the April Fishes, Arc Iris, and many more. Audiences often pick up on the band’s main influences such as Goran Bregovi?, Frank Zappa, Mr. Bungle, System of a Down, Tom Waits and Oingo Boingo.
