Violet Bell weaves roots, soul, psychedelic, and classical music into a wild soundscape. On stage and in the studio, the North Carolina duo of Lizzy Ross (guitar, banjo, vocals) and Omar Ruiz-Lopez (violin, viola, cello, guitar, mandolin, vocals) share magnetic chemistry. The two have traveled far since forming in 2016, building a steadily growing fanbase on the road and honing the fiery intimacy of their live show.
Violet Bell cut their debut LP Honey in My Heart with Jason Richmond (Avett Brothers, Steep Canyon Rangers, Nneena Freelon, Dom Flemons, Bombadil). The songs were recorded largely live in single takes, and you can feel it. Without isolation, click tracks, or vocal tuning, this music is real and full of life.
Violet Bell was an official Americanafest 2018 showcasing artist and is a 2019-2020 touring artist with the US State Department’s American Music Abroad program. Since forming in March 2016, Violet Bell has been presented at venues and festivals such as WoodSongs Old Time Radio Hour, Rooster Walk Festival, Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival, Ocrafolk Festival, the Charleston Bluegrass Festival, the Festival for the Eno, the Beaufort Music Festival, the Burlington Carousel Festival, the Haw River Ballroom, Performing Arts Exchange, and many more.
Violet Bell has worked with KidzNotes, the Wake Forest Community Youth Orchestra, The Jacksonville Children’s Chorus, the University of Mary Washington’s James Farmer Multicultural Fair, the Savannah Folk Music Society, and others to engage communities of all ages in educational and inspiring workshops.
