Based out of
Louisiana’s finest music and arts city, but with
hometowns littered across the United States, the
Belleville Outfit serves up a truly unique mix of
gypsy swing, big band jazz, and roots
Americana/Bluegrass. Both innovative in their
combining of genres, and true to their musical
roots, the Belleville Outfit, though young, has
already solidified itself as a tour-de-force in the
world of acoustic music.
Teter, Hood and Brown toured extensively with a
group based out of South Carolina called the
DesChamps Band, an all acoustic swing/bluegrass
group that has shared stages with such prestigious
acts as The Waybacks, Junior Brown, the Del McCoury
Band, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, the Duhks, and
Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder, as well as
released two full length records under the guidance
of celebrated Nashville producer and Marshall Tucker
Band Alumnus, Paul Riddle.
With the additional talents of Austin's own Phoebe
Hunt on violin,
Connor Forsyth on piano, and Jonathan Konya on the
drums, the Belleville Outfit is poised to release a
2009 follow-up disc to the independently released
WANDERIN’ (February 2008), which reached #10 on the
Americana album chart.
