Vocalist Stella Heath and the French Oak Gypsy Band

Heath and the band give a fresh spin on French and American Swing Era classics, with a repertoire derived mainly from French Chanson, Gypsy Jazz, and Dixieland Jazz. They also play Traditional World Folk music, and Modern tunes from around the world. North Bay native Heath and French/American guitar player, Gabriel Pirard, lead this group of gypsies in their undeniable fun performances. Saxophonist James Inciardi, bass player Chris Le Deiph and drummer James Foster round out the group. With their French-inspired sound, spotlighting Heath’s magnetic vocals and the band’s tight rhythms, they transport their audiences straight into the bygone era of swing.
