Belle Plaine

Belle Plaine is a singer/songwriter raised on the Canadian prairies near the hamlet of Fosston, Saskatchewan – population: 45. As a student of folk and country traditions, Belle has created a brand of roots music that combines vintage blues and swing tones of the 1940s with classic country styles made popular in the heyday of the Grand Ole Opry.

Belle’s 2018 album 'Malice, Mercy, Grief & Wrath' highlights her tremendous voice and prodigious songwriting abilities, and showcases varied musical influences from Link Wray and the Everly Brothers, to Cole Porter and Gillian Welch. The lyrical content contemplates the ephemeral nature of life and also manages to address themes that are persistently unfolding: forgiveness, redemption and hope. The record was produced and recorded by Jason Plumb [The Dead South] and features appearances by Megan Nash, Colter Wall and Kacy Anderson [Kacy and Clayton].

As an avid collaborator Belle has performed multiple times with the Regina Symphony Orchestra. She was a guest vocalist on Colter Wall’s breakthrough debut album, 'Imaginary Appalachia'. Belle also saw her co-writing and harmony-singing chops featured on Blake Berglund’s latest record, 'Realms'.
