Bell & Field live performance at Edisons gastropubLast Saturday, Bell & Field took the stage at Edisons Gastropub in Bettendorf, IA, and created a memorable afternoon filled with music, laughter, and delicious food. Greg and I were thrilled to bring our harmonies to this vibrant venue, and it quickly became one of our favorite places to play.
An Enchanting Afternoon
Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by the friendly staff at Edison’s, who guided us to our performance area. The venue’s top-notch layout and decor provided the perfect backdrop for our set, which included classics like “Summer Breeze,” “Ventura Highway,” and “Walking in Memphis.” A special highlight was our rendition of “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” which we hadn’t played in a while but was met with enthusiastic applause from the audience both inside and outside. And by the way, the weather was perfect!

As performers, we appreciated the seamless support from the staff, making our setup and performance feel like a breeze. The audience was fantastic, and we were thrilled to hear that our act, along with the one from the previous day, were some of the best they’ve had in a long time.

About Greg Percifield:
Paul Weddle and Bell & Field captivating the audience at Crescent City Tap.
We were thrilled to share the stage with old friends and musical partners Mark Schueneman and David Sherrard, whose camaraderie added a nostalgic touch to the event. Special guest performances included Tom’s son, James, who joined his dad for heartfelt renditions of “Jealous Guy” and “Thunder Road.” His return to college made this a poignant send-off.
The support from family and friends was overwhelming. It was wonderful to see familiar faces like Megan Sloan, Kate Cromien, and Chris Stevens amongst others. Even more special was seeing Paul’s old friends, who surprised him by attending the show and shared incredible stories of past performances, including one with Sinatra!
We’re already looking forward to our next gig at Edison’s Gastropub in Bettendorf next Saturday, and can’t wait for another chance to play with Paul. It was truly a night to remember!
