ABOUT THE BELLAMY BROTHERS
Howard and David continue to prove that the trail they’ve ridden to fame has been as unique as their music itself – music that is now celebrating more than 40 years of success. The road that started on the Pop music charts in the ‘70s, took a winding turn into Country music in the ‘80s, paving the way for duos to come, such as Brooks & Dunn, Montgomery Gentry, Big & Rich and The Judds. “If I Said You Had A Beautiful Body (Would You Hold It Against Me),” originally scrawled on a dinner napkin by David, rocketed them to the top of the Country charts the way “Let Your Love Flow,” had done in the Pop market just a few years earlier. It proved to be the first of a string of 14 No. 1 singles in the U.S. alone. The Bellamy Brothers hold the record in both the ACM and the CMA for the most duo nominations. Numerous Grammy nods have also been directed toward the brothers. The Bellamys are also opening up their lives to television audiences with their new reality show, “Honky Tonk Ranch.” Each episode captivates viewers by the unpredictable misadventures the Bellamys face while balancing their globe – trotting touring schedule, and while running their sprawling family ranch in south Florida.
ABOUT JOHN ANDERSON
The story of John Anderson is the true – to – life, yet larger – than – life, saga of one of the most dramatic career turn – arounds of the ‘90s. It’s the story of just reward for a singer who originally took Country music by storm and helped keep it true to its roots back in the early ’80s. His memorable hits from that musical era included “Wild and Blue,” “I’m Just An Old Chunk Of Coal,” “1959,” “I Just Came Home To Count The Memories,” “Black Sheep” and “Swingin’.” “Straight Tequila Night,” the lead – off single from 1992’s Seminole Wind went to number one across the board on every Country chart, and spawned another run of hits in the decade to follow such as “Money In The Bank,” “I’ve Got It Made,” “I Wish I Could Have Been There,” “Let Go Of The Stone,” “Bend It ‘Til It Breaks,” “Mississippi Moon” and “Somebody Slap Me.” John Anderson…an influence to many of today’s Country artists, a colorful character and truly a Country music treasure!
