ABOUT BELLAMY BROTHERS
Celebrated worldwide for their smooth harmonies, heartfelt lyrics, and a mix of humor and clever themes, the Bellamy Brothers continue entertaining fans globally as the duo approaches its 50th anniversary in the fall of 2025. David and Howard Bellamy, originally from Darby, Florida, catapulted to fame in the 1970s with their beloved smash hit “Let Your Love Flow” (1976), which topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Following that pop success, they transitioned more into country music, becoming a staple of the genre with dozens of hits including “If I Said You Had a Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me,” “Redneck Girl,” “Do You Love as Good as You Look,” and “Old Hippie,” to name a few. The aforementioned “Old Hippie” is the name brand of their medical cannabis line with Trulieve Cannabis Corp. “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.
They’re the only U.S. country music act who’ve toured in Dubai, India, Sri Lanka, New Caledonia and Qatar. Before forming their duo, both brothers played in various bands in the late 1960s and early ’70s. David wrote the song “Spiders and Snakes,” which became a hit for Jim Stafford in 1974. That success gave David his first big break in the music industry. By the 1990s, the Bellamy Brothers took a bold step and started releasing music independently under their own label, Bellamy Brothers Records. This allowed them greater creative freedom and a more direct relationship with their fans. They also began cultivating a massive international following, particularly in Europe, where country music continued to grow in popularity. Countries like Germany, Norway, and Switzerland became strongholds for their fanbase, and they’ve continued to tour internationally with massive success.
The Bellamy Brothers hold the record in both the Academy of Country Music (ACM) and the Country Music Association Awards (CMA) for the most duo nominations. Numerous Grammy nods have also been directed toward the brothers. The Bellamys have also opened up their lives to television audiences with their reality show, “Honky Tonk Ranch,” which chronicles their “unusual lives, blending music stardom, vigorous road tours and cattle ranching (Tampa Bay Times).” The first four seasons feature special guest appearances from Dennis Quaid, Blake Shelton, Tanya Tucker, Lauren Alaina, Joe Diffie, Johnny Lee, Gene Watson and many more of their famous friends. Each episode captivates viewers by the unpredictable misadventures the Bellamys face while balancing their globe-trotting touring schedule while running their sprawling family ranch in south Florida. Viewers can now watch episodes on American Country Network.
In 2024, the duo released Double Dog Dare via Bellamy Brothers Records and Select-O-Hits. The 12-song collection includes their “sublimely country (MusicRow)” collaboration, “Forever Ain’t Long Enough” with Gene Watson and “I’d Lie to You For Your Love” featuring the late K.T. Oslin. In November of 2024, the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame inducted David Bellamy into the prestigious class of songwriters during the 54th Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame Gala.
In February 2025, the brothers achieved another monumental moment when “Let Your Love Flow” served as the soundtrack for Budweiser’s new Super Bowl ad titled “First Delivery” featuring the Budweiser Clydesdales. The ad featuring the Bellamy’s became the No. 1 commercial according to USA TODAY’s Ad Meter contest by viewers.
ABOUT BIG & RICH
Big & Rich are America’s Technicolor cowboys, brothers-in-arms in service to the creed that great music has no boundaries. Individually, John Rich and Big Kenny are first-rate musicians, songwriters, producers, entertainers. Together, they are one of the most truly original musical forces ever unleashed on a welcoming world. Big & Rich have made a career of being relatable and musically relevant since exploding into the public consciousness in 2003 as the rarest of breeds—true country music game changers. With 2004’s triple-platinum “Horse of a Different Color,” they were able to tap into the best strands of a wide spectrum of popular music, filter them through their pens and voices and produce a sound that is instantly recognizable, if not classifiable.
ABOUT JOHN ANDERSON
Hoeing orange trees was less than ideal, and so John Anderson took a gig as a plumber’s helper. The pay was alright and the work was steady, but music pulled at Anderson’s heart, leading him to leave his Central Florida home and head to Nashville in the summer of 1972. After arriving in Music City, Anderson worked construction jobs, including helping build the Grand Ole Opry House, while chasing his dream of becoming a country music artist. With a voice rooted in traditional country and a deep respect for the legacies of artists like Merle Haggard, George Jones, and Johnny Cash, Anderson quickly established himself as one of Nashville’s leading traditionalists. Since signing with Warner Bros. in 1976, he has built a legendary career highlighted by chart-topping hits including “Swingin’,” “Wild and Blue,” “Straight Tequila Night,” “Black Sheep,” and “Money in the Bank,” while also earning a place in the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.
