The Puppini Sisters

The Puppini Sisters released their first album ‘Betcha Bottom Dollar’ in 2006, produced by the Oscar nominated Charest – the album was labelled the fastest selling jazz album of all time when it hit no. 1 in the UK Jazz Charts and subsequently went gold.




They quickly became musical pioneers of the neo burlesque/ swing scene in the early noughties and continue to this day as mainstays of the underground performance art scene.




Since then, the group have appeared on some of the world’s most prestigious stages, including Koko and The Shepherd’s Bush Empire and The O2 Arena (with Michael Bublè) in London, l’Olympia in Paris, The Great Hall of Conservatory in Moscow, The Roxy and The Greek in L.A. (both with Cyndi Lauper), B.B. King’s in New York, The Montreal Jazz Festival and Glastonbury Festival.




The Rise and Fall of Ruby Woo, the Sisters’ second album, came out in 2007, and it included original material for the first time.




The Sisters self-produced videos for two of the original songs, “Jilted” and “I Can’t Believe I’m Not a Millionaire”, and did all of the styling (with a little help from Marcella’s former boss, Vivienne Westwood), location scouting, hair and make up for this gargantuan project.




The third album, Christmas with The Puppini Sisters, came out in 2010. This was also the first time the Sisters did their own horn and string arrangements, and got involved in the production.




The album was a big success, and it got them noticed by Michael Buble’, who subsequently invited them to sing duets with him on his own Christmas album and the following album, To Be Loved.




Hollywood came out in 2011, and it was a lovely foray into the world of the old-school musicals. It was tongue-in-cheek, sassy, sometimes a little quirky, but most of all it was imbued with old-school glamour: big horn and string arrangements, sultry vocals…the Sisters had fun with it.




‘The Highlife’ released March 2016, was funded completely by a Pledge campaign and produced by Fred DeFaye with musical arrangements and original compositions by Marcella Puppini and Kate Mullins including the self penned first single Is This The High Life.




The album also features classics from the Thirties to the Fifties (Tico Tico, Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive) and jazzy reinventions of pop hits (Changes, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun).




In 2017, The Puppini Sisters recorded a duet on Seal’s 10th album, Standards (Decca Records). The Puppini Sisters’ 6th studio album, ‘Dance Dance Dance’, was released in 2020, followed by a Christmas EP, ‘Dear Santa, I Can Explain’, in 2021.




In 2021, The Puppini Sisters recorded a duet with Gary Barlow which featured on his Christmas album. The Puppini Sister’s television appearances have included The Royal Variety Show, The Graham Norton Show, Strictly Come Dancing, Loose Women, This Morning, Big Brother’s Little Brother, The One Show, Hell’s Kitchen, Jonathan Creek, The View (on ABC), Carole King and Friends at Christmas (BBC4), The Late Late Show, The View (US) and Michael Buble’s Christmas Special on NBC.
