When The Quebe Sisters take a stage and the triple-threat fiddle champions start playing and singing in close multipart harmony, audiences are transfixed. The Texas trio’s performances are authentically all-Americana and respectful of the artists that inspired them. The sisters’ evolution from the whiz-kid Western swing fiddlers to the young adult Americana band they are today is a remarkable story. All three sisters, Hulda, Sophia, and Grace, play fiddle and sing, and are accompanied by Simon Stipp on guitar and Daniel Parr on bass.
With striking three-part harmonies and masterful instrumentation, Bill and the Belles skillfully breathe new life into the sounds of early country music. From sentimental Southern ballads to the popular songs of Tin Pan Alley to regional fiddle breakdowns, a Bill and the Belles’ show is a celebration of the diversity country music once represented. Tickets are $20. (Click here to download the full season schedule.)
