2026 has been a banner year for Bella White. In June she released her third studio album, A Sign In The Weather, a body of work steeped in the life-altering magic of its origins. The Calgary-born singer/songwriter left her home on Vancouver Island and moved to New Orleans, where she soon became happily enmeshed in the city’s vibrant indie-rock scene.
As she immersed herself in the unfettered and open-hearted creativity of her newfound musical community, the 25-year-old lifelong musician began assembling a suite of songs that stretch far beyond her bluegrass roots and arrive at a moodier and more audacious breed of folk/Americana. Co-produced by White and Ross Farbe (Esther Rose, Drugdealer), the album’s nuanced sound spotlights White’s enchanting vocals and graceful guitar work.
Spring 2026 saw White supporting A Sign In The Weather with a string of sold-out headline dates, and in late September she will continue this run, bringing what Saving Country Music called “A most anticipated album for the second half of 2026” to nine cities across the U.S.
On October 23, White will perform at the Gothic Theatre in Englewood, Colorado, supporting Medium Build.
Born and raised in Calgary, Bella White developed a deep affinity for Appalachian folk, country, and bluegrass at an early age. As she moved across North America—living in Vancouver, Boston, and New Orleans—she honed a sophisticated sound that blends traditional bluegrass and Appalachian roots with modern Americana, revealing a depth well beyond her 25 years. Hailed by NPR as “a voice for the ages,” White brings striking emotional honesty to her work.
Her debut album Just Like Leaving (2020) and its follow-up Among Other Things (2023) earned widespread critical acclaim, with praise from Rolling Stone, Consequence, and American Songwriter. Her music has appeared in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes and, more recently, in multiple episodes of The Waterfront. A rapidly rising presence, White has taken the stage at the Grand Ole Opry, SXSW, Stagecoach, and the Newport Folk Festival and has toured with notable artists including Dierks Bentley, Tyler Childers, and The Red Clay Strays.
