Belle & The Boys have been laying it on the line for Bay Area bluegrass lovers for over a decade.

SHILOH & THE SUN (Bay Area)
Shiloh loves the full spectrum that is Americana—from the harmonies and drive of bluegrass, soul and grit of blues, and the lively, down home flavor of alt-country and western swing. Grammy award winning artist, Kathy Kallick, sees her like this, “Shiloh's singing is like the perfect hot toddy- A big dollop of honey stirred into whiskey to make a warm and thrilling flavor. Sweet and smoky, with a sensation that lingers. Mix up some blues, and some folk, with a hint of rock & roll, and poetic language all her own, and you'll start to get the picture of a new voice you'll remember for a long time.”
