Born & raised in Northern Illinois, Lara Bell grew up with a strong love for country music, heavily influenced by the intricate storytelling of the 60s and 70s thanks to her parents. She followed in her mom’s footsteps by spending most of her time on horseback, and at 14 she picked up a guitar and discovered her love for songwriting. Since then, Lara has become known for her angelic voice, with heavy, honest, and heartfelt emotion being conveyed throughout her songs and lyrics. Her voice control and fluidity is seamlessly effortless, and her sweet as honey tone reminds you of an old country jukebox with writing that captivates you at the first listen.
Over the last 11 years, she has given her blood, sweat, and tears working in the industry independently to follow her dream. She has toured between Chicagoland and Southern WI at various well known venues, (Barstool, Tin Roof, Gallagher Way, Walworth Co Fair, The Vixen, McHenry Fiesta Days) especially gaining success with her band, who has previously opened up for country superstars Jameson Rogers, Lauren Alaina, and now Brantley Gilbert in August of 2024.
Lara Bell is an independent recording artist and has released 3 singles to streaming services since 2022. “COUPLE MORE ROUNDS” being her debut single, and “SOMEDAY” & “LIKE A ROSE” being released as acoustic heartfelt singles with an homage to old country music. Her next big hit, “HATE TO LIE” was released in August of 2024. She recently announced "RECKLESS" will be on streaming platforms Spring 2025. Already catching the gaze of Nashville record companies and producers, this small town girl is on the path to become a sparkling & dazzling success.
