"This Memphis super band can deliver the soulful, spirited, and often very funny sounds that first made Beale Street famous." - MEMPHIS FLYER
"If W.C. Handy and Memphis Minnie were still alive, they'd be dancin' hand in hand down Beale Street with a devilish fervor. It's that good!" - MILES OF MUSIC
"In a town with more blues bands than you can shake a porkpie hat at, the Bluff City Backsliders truly stand out as something unique." - COMMERCIAL APPEAL
"Well-timed and unquestionably interesting, balancing gravity and levity, verisimilitude and the grotesque." - BLUES REVUE

THE MEMPHIS BELLES. A sexy collaboration of hometown sassy ladies, brought together by their love for pinup, all things vintage, lingerie, lace, and boom glitter. What started out as a bunch of girls simply posing for pinup photos and goofing around has become a full blown burlesque troupe, complete with feather fans, choreography and costumes.
Christmas cards! The Belles are hosting the evening and will not be performing at this event, but for a donation of at least $5 you can get your picture with The Memphis Belles set in a Rockin' Sleigh Winter Wonderland pinup style!!! The girls also have a brand new DVD that will be for sale at the show.
