passion, Carter family harmonies, with a little Hee Haw mixed in for good
measure. The WhiskeyBelles are an
all-female traditional country and Americana trio based out of Milwaukee,
Wisconsin.

They’ve been compared with the Pistol Annies, Dixie Chicks and The Trio (Dolly Parton, Emmy Lou Harris & Linda Ronstadt).The WhiskeyBelles have personalities as big as the Texan skyline - they have a great time on stage, and love to share the fun with their audience.

The 'Belles
started their musical shenanigans in May of 2011 and by July of the following
year they released their independent debut album, WHISKEY WOMAN, which was
named one of the 10 best local albums of 2012 by Milwaukee Magazine.
They released
their second album on November 30th, 2013. This release is a raucous Christmas
album aptly titled, NOTHIN’ SAYS CHRISTMAS LIKE WHISKEY.
Both of their
studio albums have received wide-spread radio play across the U.S. and as far
away as France and The Netherlands. The title track from their debut album,
Whiskey Woman, recently climbed to #8 on the monthly Freeform American Roots
Chart (FAR). The chart is assembled of reports from 130 radio stations world
wide. FAR is compiled by John Conquest for 3rd Coast Music Magazine, the
essential eNewspaper for American Roots music.
Then in June,
2015 they released their third CD on June 12th, a live album titled Tales from
the Bootleggers' Ball (UK iTunes). A fun-filled, larger than life
album that gives the listener a taste of what it's like to hear the
WhiskeyBelles in their element, performing live.
Besides
starting a new studio album, the WhiskeyBelles have kept a busy schedule
performing over 65+ shows a year.
They have also
won the WAMI award for Americana/Bluegrass Artist of the Year as well as the
coveted People's Choice Award and have opened for country stars such as
Montgomery Gentry, The Lost Trailers, The Kentucky Headhunters and Cadillac
Three.
