Homecoming: Belles LIVE

About this event

The Hollywood Soundstage

Coming down the red carpet, Belles (Kelli Belles) stands out as an artist unapologetically true to herself. Hailing from Omaha and now based in Nashville, Belles brings a Midwest grit and authenticity to everything she does, balancing small-town roots with big-stage ambition. Her voice is as striking as her presence—effortlessly blending a dreamy, modern edge with the timeless soul of country music’s golden era.

2026 is shaping up to be a landmark year, highlighted by her remarkable self-penned song “Son of Jolene,” featuring global music icon Dolly Parton.“The country music legend, 80, tells PEOPLE, ‘When I heard ‘Son of Jolene,’ I thought it was very clever. No one had ever thought of it that way.’” Releasing on April 17, rising star BELLES steps into country music tradition with a bold, imaginative follow-up to one of the genre’s most iconic songs. Reflecting on the moment she learned that Parton wanted to join her for the final recording, the 27-year-old said, “I could die happy now.” — The Sun
