With striking three-part harmonies and masterful instrumentation, Bill and the Belles skillfully breathe new life into the sounds of early country music. At the foothills of the Blue Ridge and the forefront of old time music, Bill and the Belles (Johnson City, Tennessee) continue to further the music traditions of their region. From sentimental Southern ballads to the popular songs of Tin Pan Alley to regional fiddle breakdowns, the group’s shows are a celebration of the diversity country music once represented.

Stars of the Lowe Vintage Radio Show on WPAQ: Voice of the Blue Ridge and masters of primitive bluegrass, The South Carolina Broadcasters bring Southern music at its finest to the stage. The group’s razor sharp harmonies, exceptional multi-instrumentation, and fabulous song selection are captivating. Featuring former members of The Smokey Valley Boys and Roan Mountain Hilltoppers, the trio comprised of David and Ivy Sheppard and Andy Edmonds put their own spin on the music of the foothills, whether performing new songs or rare tunes from the archives of music. 

Tickets are $10. For tickets, visit blueridgemusiccenter.org or call (866) 308-2773, ext. 245.
