Christopher Bell at Amelie's tonight (3/7/12)

Posted by Alison Angel on Wed, Mar 7, 2012 at 1:54 PM

CHRISTOPHER BELL To call this Christopher Bell unique would be an understatement. Picture a lone musician on stage strumming away at a guitar, pouring out his soul. Now, replace the guitar with a cello, and you’ve got Bell. Bell takes the cello and turns it on its side, slung over his shoulder with a guitar strap. The sound as he strums the cello is like taking guitar chords and making them softer and sweeter so they reverberate and linger. Just to see a musician rock a cello like a guitar is reason enough to hit up this show. Free. Amelie’s French Bakery.
