About this event

Brooklyn-raised artist Belle Blue is a 16-year-old singer, songwriter, and guitarist emerging as one of the most exciting young voices in a new generation of rock and roll. Dubbed a “musical prodigy” by SPIN, Belle has already earned attention from Rolling Stone, SPIN, American Songwriter, LADYGUNN, EARMILK, BUST, and more—not simply for her age, but for a sound and live presence that feel entirely her own.

Raised in New York City and steeped in the music of artists like Blondie and David Bowie, Belle brings the spirit and fearlessness of rock and roll into something distinctly current. Her music can be vulnerable and melodic one moment and raw, heavy, and explosive the next—pairing sharp songwriting with an unfiltered edge that feels unmistakably New York.

That duality is even more powerful onstage. After a breakout appearance at SXSW, including a performance at the SPIN showcase, Belle continued building momentum through a run of live dates across the country. This summer, she delivered a standout performance at the Newport Folk Festival, playing to an audience of several thousand, with the festival itself describing Belle as “true blue with bite.” The performance further established her as an artist whose live show is becoming as much a part of the story as the music itself. She has also appeared onstage alongside established artists and taken part in sold-out celebrations honoring rock icons including Debbie Harry and Clem Burke.

Belle's growing catalog—including singles “Wash” and “Jack”—captures the tension at the heart of who she is as an artist: a vulnerable 16-year-old with the ability to completely transform when she steps behind a microphone.

Now, Belle is writing and recording her debut full-length project between New York, Los Angeles, and Nashville, collaborating with an expanding circle of acclaimed writers and producers while continuing to push her sound forward. New music is set to arrive in the coming months, followed by her debut full-length in early 2027.

The goal isn't to recreate the rock and roll of another era, but to carry its danger, individuality, and freedom into the next one. With new music on the way, an increasingly powerful live show, and a rapidly growing audience, Belle Blue is helping define what the next generation of rock and roll can look and sound like.
