About

The Lone Bellow burst onto the scene with their self-titled debut in 2013. The Nashville-based trio (Zach Williams, Brian Elmquist, Kanene Pipkin) quickly became known for their transcendent harmonies, serious musicianship and raucous live performance -- creating what NPR calls, 'earnest and magnetic folk-pop built to shake the rafters.' In 2015, the band released Then Came The Morning, produced by The National's Aaron Dessner. The album was nominated for an Americana Music Award and took the band to numerous late night shows including Jimmy Kimmel Live, Late Show With David Letterman and Later...with Jools Holland, among others. In 2017, The Lone Bellow returned with Walk Into A Storm, produced by legendary music producer Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile, Sturgill Simpson), followed by 2020's Half Moon Light, an artistic triumph the band worked toward for years.

In a departure from their past work with elite producers Dessner and Cobb, the trio struck out on their own for their fifth full-length album Love Songs for Losers, dreaming up a singular sound encompassing everything from arena-ready rock anthems to the gorgeously sprawling Americana tunes the band refers to as "little redneck symphonies." Recorded at the possibly haunted former home of the legendary Roy Orbison, the result is an intimate meditation on the pain and joy and ineffable wonder of being human, at turns heartbreaking, irreverent, and sublimely transcendent.

After sketching the album's 11 songs in a nearby church, the band holed up for eight weeks at Orbison's house on Old Hickory Lake, slowly carving out their most expansive and eclectic body of work yet. Co-produced by Elmquist and Jacob Sooter, Love Songs for Losers also finds Pipkin taking the reins as vocal producer, expertly harnessing the rarefied vocal magic they've brought to the stage in touring with the likes of Maren Morris and Kacey Musgraves.

For The Lone Bellow, the triumph of completing their first self-produced album marks the start of a thrilling new chapter in the band's journey. "At the outset it was scary to take away the safety net of working with a big-name producer and lean on each other instead," says Pipkin. "It took an incredible amount of trust, but in the end it was so exciting to see each other rise to new heights." And with the release of Love Songs for Losers, the trio feel newly emboldened to create without limits. "This album confirmed that we still have beauty to create and put out into the world, and that we're still having fun doing that after ten years together," says Elmquist. "It reminded us of our passion for pushing ourselves out onto the limb and letting our minds wander into new places, and it sets me on fire to think of what we might make next."

    Fabulous Show

    by Jacob on 6/25/23The District Bar - Spokane

    It was a wonderful and intimate show. The Lone Bellow did a great job connecting with the audience and made the concert so much fun. I literally walked away from the concert and listened to their new album right away because I was enjoying it so much.

    The group was fantastic. I was a little disappointed in the venue and I was disappointed that they didn’t have a band.

    They never disappoint

    by Barb on 4/15/23The Riviera Theater - Charleston

    Have loved this band, occasionally a trio or solo act, since I saw them playing at the Newport Folk Festival I believe their first time there. Contagious energy, amazing vocals and harmonies really one of the best new bands around. Original songs are great and their covers tweaked just a bit to make it even better. Thanks to Brian, Zack and Kanene for coming to Charleston!!

    Not as good as I'd hoped

    by Brosian on 2/14/23The Fillmore - San Francisco

    The female singer was really good but she only did 1-2 songs on her own. The lead singer put on a big show but his talent didn't live up to his presence. Seem contrived. It was also embarrassing when they tried to get the audience to sing a song but it didn't seem that many knew the words. Overall a disappointing show, unfortunately. Maybe the SF crowd was a little low energy which didn't help.
