I just saw her band open for Duane Betts @ the Guild Theatre in Menlo Park, CA. Her band was tremendous, (two great singers and everyone in the band can play) and her guitar playing is amazing considering she's only been playing for such a short time. She has great stage presence and looks like she's having a blast!

Duane was great that night. His voice has matured and he's singing better than ever. This show was more polished than the night before in Mill Valley (which was also a very good show). Duane's starting to look like a veteran of the road...

Another great interview, Alan. Bella is wise beyond her years, and can cut a mean lick to boot!

I first met Bella at Wanee when she was just a child. It has been many years since I’ve seen her!! She was raised around music and learned to appreciate it throughout her life!!! Her parents are amazing people and it sure shows that they are fully embracing and supporting her passion! She’s a natural and I can’t wait to see her again—this time on stage! Thanks for supporting her, Alan!!!

Thanks for the tip. Watching her and her band play a nice version of Cold Rain & Snow now. Right on. https://youtu.be/y5HyUAe1uDo?si=pS58OMyewXpdYVYB
