The SWEET BELLA RUE Band is made up of Kristi Morris, Jeff Kellogg, (her husband and co-founder) who plays the dejembe drum, her brother David, who plays the fiddle, mandolin and steele, her sister Dana who sings harmony and her brother Freddie who plucks banjo. Many of SWEET BELLA RUE local performances are done by the two-piece acoustic sounds of co-founders, Kristi Morris Kellogg & her husband Jeff Kellogg.

First and foremost, we are very sorry to hear about the many scams going around that are causing skepticism among many and causing organizations like ours to meet great resistance in the good we are trying to do. Therefore, we encourage all to visit our YouTube channel or at our web site and allow our past works to speak on our behalf and give us credibility.
That being said, some of you may have noticed the change in the "Music That Matters: Kentucky" project regarding the addition of Virginia and West Virginia. The reason behind this is simply that interest is increasing faster than we are able to produce each statewide album. Now that "Music That Matters: New England" has been released, we've been inundated with responses and questions from artists/bands from multiple states asking how they, too, can be a part of this.
Therefore, we've decided to start doing three states per compilation. This change comes with many benefits to the artist, as well, specifically offering them a broader range of listeners and potential fans now spreading across THREE STATES now, instead of just their home state.
We are very excited about this change and the outrageously positive responses we've been receiving. "Music That Matters: Kentucky/Virginia/West Virginia" is coming along nicely, so be on th
