Artist Information
Belle Frantz is one of country music's most exciting new traditional voices, blending timeless storytelling with the authenticity and heart of the genre's golden era. A native of Greenwood Springs, Mississippi, Frantz has built a loyal following by honoring the voices that shaped her—including George Jones, Conway Twitty, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, and her lifelong hero, Reba McEntire.
Her love for country music began in her grandfather's workshop and was forever cemented when, after his passing, 12-year-old Belle discovered Reba McEntire's The Last One to Know among his CD collection—a moment that inspired her to pursue a life in music.
Following her 2023 debut EP, Why I Sing This Way, Frantz has shared stages with Willie Nelson, Alabama, and Tracy Lawrence, and co-wrote "Lonely's What I Do" with Vince Gill, who later recorded the song.
This fall, Frantz enters a landmark chapter with the release of Hymns from a Barstool on November 6, featuring collaborations with Wynonna Judd and Reba McEntire. Recorded in part at Elvis Presley's childhood church—also her great-grandfather's church—the project celebrates the enduring connection between country and gospel music. Throughout the album release, Frantz will make her Grand Ole Opry debut and join Carly Pearce on tour, further cementing her place as one of country music's most exciting new traditional voices—honoring the genre's rich heritage while introducing it to a new generation.
