Belle Roscoe is an Australian sibling duo, Matty and Julia Gurry, whose harmony-driven folk/rock/Americana sound has drawn comparisons to Fleetwood Mac and The Black Keys. They’ve performed to audiences of 150,000+ in a year, closed the Cannes Film Festival, and played London’s O2 Arena, New York’s Bowery Electric and LA’s United Artists Theatre.
