About this concert
ill and the Belles were born to entertain. The Tennessee quartet, influenced by classic country, bluegrass, hillbilly and old time music, create an enchanting interpretation of the music of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, with gloriously smooth vocal harmonies and exquisite musicianship on fiddle, banjo, guitar and double bass. Bandleader Kris Truelsen (lead vocals/guitar) is joined by equally talented musicians Kalia Yeagle (fiddle/vocals), Helena Hunt (banjo/vocals) and Andrew Small (double bass). Bill and the Belles bring to the stage an uplifting live show full of engaging humour, high spirits, and all-around revelry.
They're a joy to watch live, and we bet you can't make it through their set without smiling. - The Bluegrass Situation

Bill Biography
BILL are a rock band, started in 1987 in new england and fronted by Bill Gage, a singer who has DS (Down syndrome). The group was named after one of the few words Bill can write, making it simple for him to create the logo. Bill Gage sings surreal, ever-changing lyrics in a wide variety of styles... bluesy yowls, soulful moans, punky shouts, romantic crooning, throat-singing and more, Bill's reactions to the diverse sounds the band provide him: spacey art-rock, thundering heavy-metal, acoustic folk ballads, stuttering industrial riffs, etc. Bill continuously refines and re-works his vocal improvisations with intense and rhythmic precision, pushing and pulling at the square-edged constants of the three-guitar rock group.
BILL's approach to songwriting is always in flux. The first album BEATLES CHINESE was shaped by a series of challenges the band gave Bill: first to name the songs he wanted to do, and then to sing them, as the band figured out what to play behind him and each song was quickly recorded. The backing tracks for BILL's second record BAT MAN were recorded in advance. Bill listened to the tracks, sang over them, and then named the songs (and the record). The band includes Daren Follower (drums), Gaylen Moore (bass), and guitarists Eric Morin, Greg Ansin, and Bill's brother john.
People may come to the BILL show the first time to see what the hubbub is about, but they return for the rock. Bill Gage is a born performer. His connection with an audience is immediate and electric.
