From Northern Illinois roots to the Grand Ole Opry stage, Lara Bell is bringing her music home.
The 2025 Grand Ole Opry Winner, Lara Bell grew up in Northern Illinois with a deep love for country music and the timeless storytelling of the ’60s and ’70s. After picking up a guitar at age 14 and discovering her passion for songwriting, Lara went on to make the stage her home, captivating audiences with her smooth vocal control, honey-sweet tone and heartfelt lyrics.
An independent artist who has performed throughout Illinois, Wisconsin and Tennessee, Lara and her band have shared the stage with major country acts including Jameson Rodgers, Lauren Alaina and Brantley Gilbert. Now expanding her presence in Nashville, Lara continues to build a career grounded in small-town roots and big-stage ambition.
Opening the evening is local singer-songwriter Amy Yore, a solo acoustic artist whose warm vocals and storytelling style have been likened to a young Dolly Parton.
Join us for an intimate evening of authentic country music, heartfelt songwriting and two distinctive voices with plenty of heart.
