Happy New Year from Belle and the Boys! We’re looking forward to playing The Uptown nightclub in Oakland later this month. The evening will open with the debut performance of the Better Halves, and close out with the Good Luck Thrift Store Outfit from Oakdale, CA. Check out the poster that the Better Halves put together:
Our good pal Chuck Poling wrote up a nice article that was published in the June newsletter of the California Bluegrass Association. It takes a closer look at the production of our latest record, and how we go about arranging and producing songs. Check it out.

In April 2011 Belle Monroe & Her Brewglass Boys released their second full-length record: Long Lonesome Day . It features a mix of original bluegrass and some choice covers. Produced by the band and Ben Bernstein and recorded in Emeryville at Spliggityfidge Studios, Long Lonesome Day is dedicated to the memory of former bandmate Rick Hendricks, who succumbed to cancer in December 2009.
Purchase the album online at CD Baby, Bandcamp, or on iTunes.
