THE LONE BELLOW

The Lone Bellow’s upcoming sixth album, “What A Time To Be Alive” captures the band’s 
signature harmonies and heartfelt storytelling while boldly stepping into new sonic territory with 
their full touring ensemble.
 
With their upcoming sixth studio album, “What A Time To Be Alive” , The Lone Bellow embarks
on a bold new chapter while honoring the deep bonds that have defined their journey. Written
collaboratively for the first time with their full touring band—founding members Zach Williams,
Brian Elmquist, and Kanene Pipkin joined by drummer Julian Dorio and multi-instrumentalist
Tyler Geertsma—the album channels the raw, ecstatic energy of the band’s live show into a
dynamic collection of songs that pulse with warmth, honesty, and human connection.
 
Recorded live in Muscle Shoals, AL, after a writing retreat in a converted Kentucky firehouse,
the album is both a celebration and a reckoning: of friendship, loss, love, and resilience. From
the gritty, Stones-tinged opener “After The Rain” to the soul-stirring closer “What A Time To Be
Alive,” the record captures the joy and vulnerability that have long defined The Lone Bellow’s
sound—lush harmonies, heartfelt lyrics, and genre-blurring arrangements steeped in folk, rock,
and gospel.
 
The album’s creation was marked by setbacks, including the theft of early recordings, but the
outpouring of support from their fanbase reaffirmed what the band has always known: their
music is a shared experience. That spirit echoes throughout the album, whether in anthems like
“Common Folk” and “I’m Here For You,” or in intimate reflections like “You Were Leaving” and 
“Night Goes Black.”Since their acclaimed 2013 debut, The Lone Bellow has appeared on The Tonight Show, Austin 
City Limits, and The Late Show, topped Americana charts, and headlined storied venues from 
Carnegie Hall to the Ryman Auditorium. But with their next album, they reaffirm their 
commitment not just to making music, but to building community—on stage, in song, and 
around the table.
