Rarely does modern music earn the badge of "timeless," but BEL cuts through the noise. Hailing from the small town of Clovis, California, Isabel Whelan, a.k.a. BEL, crafts nostalgic songs with honesty and attention to detail. She occupies the intersection of indie rock, pop, and folk, drawing inspiration from the likes of Stevie Nicks, Joni Mitchell, and Mazzy Star.

In 2023, BEL played her first festivals, toured and collaborated with artists including Boyish, Gatlin, and girlhouse, and performed her first shows in the UK and Europe. Her latest EP, Read the Room, received coverage from Rolling Stone, Ones to Watch, and Raydar Magazine, along with support from SiriusXMU, AltNation, and KCRW. The lead single, “Are You Okay?,” reached no. 1 on SiriusXMU in April/May 2023 and landed on their list of the top 41 songs of the year.

With new music underway, BEL is set to support Cold War Kids and BAILEN in 2024.

Entifan is a 23-year-old creatively sensitive artist from Orange County, California. She weaves fluidity and soft power into her music, treating songwriting as a vehicle for healing and deep connection. Her name, meaning “water," reflects the duality she explores—malleability and force—through experimental instrumentation and arrangements. Her work is deeply emotional. 

With her debut EP, Claire, Entifan reflects on her journey toward self-acceptance and nurturing the love she holds for her inner child. Her music is not for the unreflective—and certainly not for the avoidant.
