About Belles & Whistles:
Omaha-natives, Kelli and Jaymie Jones, formed Belles & Whistles in 2013, but the dynamic duo started playing music together during Kelli's childhood. The mother-daughter act, known for their rich harmonies and meaningful lyrics, are a little bit country and a little bit rock 'n' roll, with Jaymie bringing her roots from the 1999 group Mulberry Lane (formerly of Refuge/MCA Records). The group's hit song, "Harmless," placed Top 25 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart. After Mulberry Lane came to an end, Jaymie began to play on her own locally with Kelli soon singing backup. Now, Belles & Whistles have shared the stage with country music mainstays, such as Lee Brice, Old Dominion, Brett Eldridge, Kenny Rogers, and more and have won the title of "Best Country Artist" for the Omaha Entertainment & Arts Awards three years running. Their debut EP, Look Up, was recorded at the prestigious Legends Studio in Nashville and produced by Dan Frizsell (Lee Brice, American Young).
