The Quebe Sisters with special guests Bill and the Belles at The Blue Ridge Music Center
The Blue Ridge Music Center presents a night of Western Swing & Early Country Radio Tunes performed by The Quebe Sisters and Bill and the Belles.
This presentation is a featured concert of The Crooked Road's Mountains of Music Homecoming Festival.
When the Quebe Sisters from Texas take a stage, and the triple-threat fiddle champions start playing and singing in multi-part close harmony, audiences are usually transfixed, then blown away. Its partly because the trios vocal and instrumental performances are authentic all-Americana, all the time, respectful of the artists that inspired them the most. The sisters past is as colorful and eventful as their future is bright. Growing up in Burleson, a southern suburb of Fort Worth, Hulda, Sophia and Grace were ages 7, 10 and 12 in 1998 when they attended their first local fiddle competition in nearby Denton, and decided fiddling was what they wanted to do. The girls earned solo and group accolades early on, winning state and national championships in their respective age groups in 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002.
The Quebes evolution - from the whiz-kid Western swing fiddlers they were back then to the smokin hot young adult Americana band they are today - is a remarkable story, by any measure. Along with headlining their own shows to ever-growing audiences, theyve shared stages with American music legends like Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder, Ray Price, Connie Smith, Marty Stuart, Ray Benson and Asleep at the Wheel among others.
The Quebe Sisters are: Hulda Quebe (fiddle & vocals), Sophia Quebe (fiddle & vocals ), Grace Quebe (fiddle & vocals), Simon Stipp (guitar), and Daniel Parr (bass)

With striking three-part harmonies and masterful instrumentation, Bill and the Belles skillfully breathe new life into the sounds of early country music. At the foothills of the Blue Ridge and the forefront of old time music, Bill and the Belles (Johnson City, Tennessee) continue to further the music traditions of their region. From sentimental Southern ballads to the popular songs of Tin Pan Alley to regional fiddle breakdowns, a Bill and the Belles show is a celebration of the diversity country music once represented.
Bill and the Belles are: Kris Truelsen (guitar, vocals) , Grace Vant Hof (banjo, banjo ukulele, vocals) , Kalia Yeagle (fiddle, guitar, vocals) , and Karl Zerfas (bass)
