We chat with country artist Belles to talk about her new self-titled EP Belles, her holiday EP Bells on Belles, and the journey that took her from a musical family in Nebraska to a recording and publishing deal in Nashville. She opens up about growing up surrounded by musicians, performing in a mother-daughter duo, briefly stepping away to study chemistry, and what ultimately pulled her back to music full-time.

Belles dives into writing and co-writing every song on the EP, collaborating with Blake Wood on “Crazy As Me,” creating the “Ring on the Table” music video, and working with Sam Grow and John Gates in the studio. She also shares stories from the road, the lessons learned from touring, her love for both acoustic and full-band shows, and so much more.

Plus, she breaks down the inspiration behind her holiday EP, and what fans can expect from her heading into 2026.
