About the event
After more than two decades, Katie Belle and DuffelBag Joe are still dancing to their own tune. The sound of DuffelBelle is wrapped in folky melodies that move the heart and soul. As this timeless journey unfolds, every note tells a story...
Born and raised in Ottawa, Illinois, Katie Belle grew up at the junction of the Fox and Illinois Rivers, listening to equal parts classic country and 80's punk rock. At eighteen, she moved to Chicago, where she began writing music that bridged the divide between those two worlds. From the frenetic folk of Ticklepenny to the cowpunk drive of The Belle Rangers, she left her mark on the Chicago music scene with her trademark earthy vocals and narrative songwriting style.
