This is part of their incredible 2025 tour, so you won’t want to miss it!

Meet The Lone Bellow
The Lone Bellow is made up of three incredibly talented musicians: Zach Williams, Kanene Donehey Pipkin, and Brian Elmquist. These artists have been blending their strong harmonies with authentic storytelling for years now. They’ve put out five studio albums, with their most recent work, “Love Songs for Losers”, hitting the shelves in 2022. This latest album shows just how far they’ve come, as they decided to take a leap of faith by producing it themselves. This shift from working solely with producers allowed them to embrace honesty and authenticity in their music like never before.
A Connection Beyond the Music
Part of what makes their shows special is the engaging and communal atmosphere they strive to create with their fans. Zach Williams had fascinating insights into the emotional weight of their performances. He’s been living in the same old cottage in East Nashville for close to a decade and is now transitioning to a new home—an old fishing cottage ripe for renovation. Family plays a crucial role in Zach’s life as a father of four, prompting him to think back to his own childhood when creating music that connects with both kids and adults alike.
The Life of a Touring Musician
The touring life isn’t all glitz and glam. Williams likens it to blue-collar work, often sharing hotel rooms with bandmates to save a few bucks on the road. Still, there’s a strong sense of community that they embrace while on tour. Nashville’s public school teachers often understand the chaotic lives of musicians, creating a supportive network. That camaraderie among band members—experiencing the ups and downs together—is pivotal to their success and the artistic expression visible in their music.
Emotional Connection Through Music
When it comes to their songwriting, The Lone Bellow focuses on capturing complex emotions and weaving them into relatable stories. They aim to make an emotional impact, drawing on their life experiences, which have vastly influenced their work. Zach reveals that he often takes aimless walks, using this simple practice as a form of meditation during tough times. This reflective approach has helped them shape a sound that resonates deeply with their audience.
Fans Rave About Their Performances
Just recently, their performance at St. Cecilia received great praise. Their harmonies, along with captivating storytelling, struck a chord with the audience, showcasing just how unique the connection between artist and listener can be. In a world so consumed by digital interactions, The Lone Bellow reminds us of the beauty of genuine human connection through music.
So, will you be joining them this weekend? Prepare yourself for a night filled with emotions wrapped in beautiful melodies! It’s time to make some memories!
