Live & Local at The Linda
Thursday, December 5th
The Belle Curves with special guest Sabrina Trueheart. This special first Thursday event replaces the first Friday show this one time.
The Belle Curves is the primary creative vehicle for Troy-based singer-songwriter Delaney Hafener. A typical multi-hyphenate musician/bandleader/producer/instrumentalist, she has an atypical relationship to fame – she doesn’t want it. She doesn’t need it, and she’s not pursuing it. Delaney seeks authenticity, joy, and community through music-making. She has no choice but to write songs. Through songwriting she processes emotions and captures moments, sharing morsels of her ever-evolving worldview. Delaney mines the world for experiences to sing about like a photographer takes to the road.
A stable yet changeable crew of musicians and creatives bring Delaney’s visions to life in the studio and on stage. Delaney takes an intentional, Brian-Wilson-esque approach to making recordings and pairs it with an irreverent, raw, yet tight live show. Precise vocal harmonies, distorted electric guitar, a groovy rhythm section, and a slightly sardonic sensibility carry Hafener’s clever and melodic songwriting. Delaney draws from a deep well of American music. Traditional folk ballads, jangly power-pop, and rollicking alt-country all make themselves at home in the sound of The Belle Curves. Seeing The Belle Curves live can mean anything from Delaney performing solo with some vintage guitar in her hands to her fronting a 6-piece band and making the unique claim of being both frontwoman and bass player.
Sabrina Trueheart bills herself as a "folky song singer with bangs based in Troy, NY."
