JACKSON, Wyo. — In celebration of their ten year anniversary, The Lone Bellow band will be taking the stage at Center for the Arts on Wednesday, Feb. 7 at 7 p.m.
The Lone Bellow burst onto the scene with their self-titled debut in 2013. The Nashville-based trio (Zach Williams, Brian Elmquist and Kanene Pipkin) quickly became known for their transcendent harmonies, serious musicianship and raucous live performance — creating what NPR calls, ‘earnest and magnetic folk-pop built to shake the rafters.’
“We’re thrilled to be able to bring The Lone Bellow to The Center while they’re touring the country on their anniversary tour,” Event Operations Director at The Center Willi Brooks said. “Hardcore musicians and casual fans of folk alike will want to come out for this show, it’s sure to be one for the books.”
For The Lone Bellow, the triumph of completing their first self-produced album marks the start of a thrilling new chapter in the band’s journey.
“At the outset it was scary to take away the safety net of working with a big-name producer and lean on each other instead,” Pipkin said. “It took an incredible amount of trust, but in the end it was so exciting to see each other rise to new heights.”
And with the release of “Love Songs for Losers,” the trio feel newly emboldened to create without limits.
“This album confirmed that we still have beauty to create and put out into the world, and that we’re still having fun doing that after ten years together,” Elmquist said. “It reminded us of our passion for pushing ourselves out onto the limb and letting our minds wander into new places, and it sets me on fire to think of what we might make next.”
This show got a big bonus just after the new year with the addition of “the king of Baltimore Rock’n’Roll.” Cris Jacobs is a “gritty soul-blues singer and guitarist with an outlaw country ethos.” In addition to his own music, Cris pays a nationally recognized tribute to the music of Jerry Garcia by hosting the annual “A Very Jerry Christmas.”
