With their affection for words and the pure heartache in old country music, The Northern Belle have captured the attention of Oslo's folk/country-scene. They mix traditional country with pop and Norwegian folk music, resulting in a unique musical output. The singer is a true storyteller and the instruments, especially the Hardanger fiddle and the steel guitar, enhance the melodies and tales.

The debut album, characteristically produced by Even Ormestad from the world-renowned Jaga Jazzist, earned them spots at festivals like the internationally famous Øya and Bukta, along with appearances on national television and radio. They had the pleasure of performing with artists like Marit Larsen, Darling West, Torgeir Waldemar and many more in the summer of 2015 at Oslo Fjordfest and they’ve opened for idols like Mandolin Orange, Ida Jenshus, Monica Heldal and Sturgill Simpson.

Emphasized by her beautiful voice, Stine Andreassen’s lyrical honesty constitutes the backbone of the Northern Belle’s musical universe. The songs revolve around falling in and out of love, overthinking everything and growing up to become more like your parents than you’d like to admit.
