Rising Country Star Kelli Belles Set to Launch on The Trust Issues Tour This Fall

(Nashville, Tennessee – August 26, 2024) – Rising country artist Kelli Belles, known by her stage moniker Belles, is set to hit the road this fall for her highly anticipated Trust Issues Tour, with support from artist Trevor Martin. The tour will kick off on October 11th in Nashville, TN, at The Basement, marking the beginning of a series of performances that will span the country, including stops in Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, and more.

Excited for the tour, Belles shares, “The Trust Issues Tour marks my second headlining club tour, and after the success of the first, I couldn’t wait to hit the road again. We’re revisiting some amazing venues and adding a few new ones that I’m excited to play for the first time. Connecting with my fans through live music is something I cherish, and this tour is all about deepening that bond. If you come out to a show, get ready for a night filled with storytelling about crazy ex-boyfriends and moving on, mixed with drinking, dancing, and hopefully a few moments that really hit home.”

With a voice grounded in her Nebraska roots, Belles is steadily making a name for herself.  Since moving to Nashville in 2018, Belles has captivated audiences with her meaningful and witty storytelling. Her original songs, all co-written with some of Nashville’s top writers, have garnered over 70 million views and streams across all platforms. Belles has worked alongside renowned writers such as Reid Isbell (“The Kind of Love We Make”/Luke Combs, “Mr. Saturday Night”/Jon Pardi), Jenn Schott (“7500 OBO” and “Two Lanes of Freedom”/Tim McGraw), Heath Warren (“Rock and A Hard Place”/Bailey Zimmerman and “Something You Ain’t Ever Had”/Waterloo Revival), Ned Cameron (Grammy-nominated writer and producer has collaborated with artists including Kid Ink, Machine Gun Kelly, Wiz Khalifa, Sean Kingston and more), contributing to her growing reputation as a promising songwriter.

Her music has caught the attention of major platforms and outlets, with features on CMT, Spotify’s Next from Nashville, New Music Friday Country, Fresh Finds Country, and Apple Music’s New In Country, Soundcheck, and What Would Dolly Do? playlists. CMT lauded her talent, stating, “Belles’ crystal clear vocals and compelling delivery are displayed in ‘Man Outta Me,’ which verifies that she’s a promising new artist with a bright future ahead.”

Belles’ journey in music began in Omaha, Nebraska, deeply influenced by her musical family. With her mother being a part of the successful sister pop/harmony group Mulberry Lane, Belles was surrounded by music from a young age. Her early experiences, including touring with her mother’s group and performing in a mother-daughter duo, laid the foundation for her solo career.

Having shared the stage with celebrated country artists, including Miranda Lambert, Old Dominion, Dan + Shay, Brett Eldridge, and Lee Brice, Belles has honed her craft and expanded her fan base. Her headlining performances at iconic venues such as Mercury Lounge in New York City, Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles, and First Avenue in Minneapolis underscore her growing influence and respect in the industry.
