TBelly is a solo project for singer and songwriter Russell Keefe. The bands first album “Dead Men Don’t Pray” was released in 2015. The album got fantastic critical acclaim in the USA, Europe and the UK.
“This album doesn’t disappoint with every track a standout that will leave you breathless.” “TBelly make some fine music, but it is their vocal performance that grabs the ear and engages the spirit. Blues songs can compress deep and complex feelings into a few lines, but when they are projected with this kind of power and conviction, they can also open a door into a world of shared experience.” ― All About Blues Music
