The 3rd Annual Bellson Music Fest will be held Saturday, June 8, 2024 at the RB&W District in Rock Falls, IL. This year is a Centennial Celebration of the legacy of LOUIE BELLSON (1924-2009) the Rock Falls native who rose to become the renowned drummer, composer, band leader and six-time Grammy nominee. The event is hosted by Rock Falls Tourism which works closely with Bellson’s widow Francine Bellson (louiebellson.com) and Josh Duffee (music director from Davenport, IA).
We are pleased to announce special featured musical guest Steve Smith who served as drummer for the iconic band “Journey”.

In 2017, Smith was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for his work with Journey....
