With a nostalgic appreciation for old time tunes, Katey Bellville inevitably pines for traditional sounds while composing contemporary songs. Raised both in country on horseback and deep in the heart of Minneapolis – she has always stirred a brew of reverse passions. Dedicated listeners describe her original songs as ‘unforgettable’, blending modern pop sensibilities with fundamental bluegrass instrumentation. Bellville has been honored to play with an incredible group (aka Those Sonsabitches) since 2009. Her band of SOB’s includes Zach Gusa (guitar/vocals), Mike Hedding (banjo/mandolin), Chris O’Brien (slide guitar/vocals), Eric Struve (bass), Eric Larson (mandolin/vocals), and on special occasion Ryan Young (fiddle). This band bellows beautiful 3 part vocal harmonies surrounded by acoustic instrument artistry. SOB’s celebrates the old with the new.
