About Us
The Blue Anchor Belles are bringing "Boogie Woogie" back to Pensacola…and now San Diego
and the Tidewater Virginia area!
We are a group of Military wives who love to sing, and our heart is to provide music therapy to veterans and their families. We create unique three-part harmonies for beloved WWII-era music, bringing the top hits from the 40's and 50's to all generations.

It all started…
In 2016 in Oklahoma City, when our husbands were stationed at Tinker AFB. We were just three women with a love of music who felt we were born in the wrong decade. Using the Andrews Sisters as our inspiration, we created our own unique arrangements of patriotic music from the 1940’s. We soon began singing at assisted living centers and memory care facilities as a form of music therapy. What started as a desire to serve aging veterans and their families quickly grew into a passion to make these vintage songs relevant and loved by all generations.
While in Oklahoma, we were honored to perform at the Oklahoma State Fair, The Rodeo Oprey, Midwest City Veteran's Day Parade, and other military and community events.
But military families don't stay in one place for very long. When two of our husbands both got stationed in Florida in 2018, the Blue Anchor Belles officially “PCS'd” to Pensacola, and added two new, beautiful sopranos to our fold. Coming to Pensacola has been like coming home for us; not only is the rich history of Naval Aviation here close to our hearts, but the military, veteran, and civilian community has welcomed us with open arms.
We are passionate about singing at assisted living facilities and memory care centers and have also been honored to perform at the National Naval Aviation Museum, Cordova Mall, NAS Whiting Field Navy Ball, and many veterans’ and community events.
Remember when we said military families don’t stay in one place for very long? We meant it! In 2021 a couple of our other members once again “PCS’d” across the country to sunny San Diego and created a second chapter, and in 2022 our founder will reunite with a past member in Norfolk, Virginia and began a third chapter of the Blue Anchor Belles. We decided that since we had such a deep connection in Pensacola, we had to keep a chapter on the Emerald Coast. We are thrilled about our expansion and excited to continue singing from coast to coast!
