Bell & Field performing live at The V'ue in Clinton, IA.

Every time we perform at The V'ue in Clinton, IA, we're reminded of what makes live music so special. There's something truly magical about this venue—from the cozy, inviting stage setup to the soothing scent of incense drifting through the room. This evening was no exception, with an intimate audience of about 20 enthusiastic friends and music lovers, delicious charcuterie boards, and a perfect acoustic vibe.

The Highlights from Our Set

Audience requests made this night unforgettable! Here are a few standouts:

"Summer in the City" by Lovin' Spoonful – An upbeat crowd-pleaser!
"Great Balls of Fire" by Jerry Lee Lewis – Always fun, always fiery!
"When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman" by Dr. Hook – A delightful surprise! We laughed when we realized we didn’t quite remember the bridge but improvised seamlessly back into the chorus.
"Norwegian Wood" by The Beatles – Emulating that iconic sitar melody on the keys never gets old.

A Special Duet with Brooke Byam

A highlight of the night was undoubtedly when Brooke Byam, owner of The V'ue, joined us on stage. We had a request for something by Fleetwood Mac, and Brooke suggested "Rhiannon"—what an inspired choice! Her vocals soared beautifully and soulfully, and we loved adding some additional harmonies. We think it created some good chills in the audience. The reaction was very enthusiastic. Thanks for sharing your incredible talent, Brooke!

Selected Favorites from Our Setlist

"I Feel Fine" – The Beatles (Brooke captured an awesome video of this!)
"Ventura Highway" – America
"Small Town" – John Mellencamp
"Riders on the Storm" – The Doors
"Can't Buy Me Love" – The Beatles
"You Don't Mess Around with Jim" – Jim Croce

Though encores aren’t typically part of our routine, we didn't want to turn down this fantastic crowd who wanted more. We wrapped up the evening with a lively singalong to "Brown Eyed Girl"—the perfect finale for a wonderful night!

The Unique Atmosphere & Our After-Show Tradition

The V'ue's speakeasy-style charm and welcoming vibe make it one of our favorite venues. Brooke always ensures we're right at home. Before the show, keeping tradition alive, we headed down the street to Holly's Dogs (a charming eatery housed in a repurposed old bank) and enjoyed a couple of tasty Pork Carnitas Dogs—a perfect addition to the night! Thanks to everyone who joined us at The V'ue and made this evening so memorable. We're already excited for our next performance!
