The Belle Weather is a hurricane. They are the heavy, rhythmic storm of an acoustic guitar, the deep pulse of an upright bass, and the soaring elegance of cello, violin, and voice. They are the eye of the storm and the damage done - equal parts modern folk and indie rock - a fusion of inspired anthems and the art of simple storytelling. Over the years, they’ve taken a great many influences and blended them into a sound that is uniquely their own, building a reputation by approaching every stage with a rare combination of gritty, sweat-drenched energy and honest, heart-felt sonic grace.
