Belles Songs and Stories Tour Live at The Cactus Cafe!

Event details Date: Friday, August 7, 2026 Time: 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM Location: Cactus Cafe Type: Arts / Performance About this event In a world of imitators and social media facades, 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 26-year-old said, “I could die happy now.” — The Sun Buy Tickets!
