THE BELLAMY BROTHERS: THE LOVE STILL FLOWS…

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 40 years of success.
The road that started on the pop music charts in the ‘70’s, took a winding turn into country
music in the ‘80’s, paving the way for duos to come, such as Brooks & Dunn, Montgomery Gentry,
Big & Rich, and previously—The Judds. But before the road forked into country, the musical odyssey of brothers Bellamy started creatively smoldering in their home state of Florida, before exploding nationally amidst the
’70’s pop music culture of L.A.
The brothers first official gig was in 1968, playing a free show with their father at the
Rattlesnake Roundup in San Antonio, Florida. They honed their early skills playing black clubs
throughout the south, and singing backup for artists such as Percy Sledge, Eddie Floyd, and Little Anthony
& The Imperials. Within a few months, the brothers moved north, immersing themselves and their
rock/country sound in the Atlanta market, where the Allman Brothers were the emerging kings
of the music world.
With the dawning of the Age of Aquarius on the horizon, and America embroiled in a
smoke haze of drugs, civil unrest and an unpopular war, The Bellamy's music picked-up
the hard driving edge that bespoke the times. Songwriting had become David Bellamy’s drug of choice
during the long road gigs he and Howard were regularly pulling bodies and equipment to and from.
It was his songwriting that was posed to soon provide the duo a national breakout.
The break came in the form of the hit, “Spiders & Snakes,” written by David and recorded by
Jim Stafford. The song became a smash, eventually selling more than three million units worldwide.
It became the catapult that rocketed the brother onto the L.A. music scene. Young and impressionable,
Howard and David fell into the musical circle of the greats of the day: Bob Dylan, James Taylor, and
Van Morrison, as well as West Coast based country rockers like Poco and the Byrds.
It was a creative shoe that fit.
Now known by their music and the company they were keeping, The Bellamys officially lifted
off the launch pad in 1976 when their single, “Let Your Love Flow,” became an instant smash
in both the U.S. and Europe. It stayed on the international charts long enough to build a huge
international fan base for the hip young brothers that endures to this day. In Germany alone it perched
at #1 for more than two months. The love was indeed flowing as The Bellamys jammed for audiences
on their sold-out concerts and shared stages with the likes of Loggins & Messina, the Doobie Brothers,
and the Beach Boys., with their patented blend of rock/country music.
True to their musical roots, their style and their songwriting was moving steadily more towards
their raising. By the late ‘70’s The Bellamys were emerging on the country charts with another bona fide
smash. “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 fourteen
#1 singles in the U.S. alone.
Success followed success: “Dancing Cowboys,” “Sugar Daddy,” “You Ain’t Just Whistlin’ Dixie,”
“Lovers Live Longer,” “Do You Love As Good As You Look,” “Redneck Girl,”
“For All The Wrong Reasons,” “I Love Her Mind,” “I Need More Of You,” “Old Hippie,”
“Too Much Is Not Enough,” “Kids Of The Baby Boom,”
and “Reggae Cowboy” and “Crazy From The Heart,”
…all have lined the corridors of the Bellamy’s musical
history and their walls with platinum and gold.
Along the way, Howard and David created a patent on the newly cool “duo” category in country music.
In the era of the 2000’s, 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.
Internationally, the story has been the same—though the titles may be different. The
Bellamys have released more than two-dozen hit songs outside the U.S. that were never released here.
With a sharp eye on the songwriting skills that have been the bedrock of their success, Howard and
David concur that their career is unique in their international finesse for matching
their songs to the market.
“For the international releases, you have to have a strong melody,” notes David. “The lyric
is very important, but internationally the melody is something fans can lock into, even if they can’t
understand the lyrics.” Howard and David continue to perform and film TV specials in Europe and around
the world. These days when the subject turns to touring, The Bellamys are showing a new generation
of country music how it’s done. “We’re old road dogs,” grins Howard when asked about the motivation behind
the brothers 200 plus concert dates each year. Adds David: “Our live draw is bigger than it was in the ‘80’s. I
think the same people that grew up with us and with our music in the ‘60’s and ‘70’s obviously have
raised a whole new generation of Bellamy fans who started toddling to our music. Now they’re turning up
at our concerts as college kids, who are really turned on and tuned in to us and our music….it’s a great
feeling.”
On the infrequent off days from the road, Howard and David head the bus back to their 150-acre family
ranch in Darby, Florida just north of Tampa. A working ranch, the spread consists of Purebred Charlois
cattle and quarter horses. Amid a land lush with fruit trees, ancient oaks and crepe myrtles, three
generation of the Bellamy family, headed by David and Howard’s mother, Frances, populate the homes
clustered in the family compound.
The Bellamy Brothers latest project is their new album titled '40 Years' is an ambitious project that
celebrates their career with 20 of their biggest hits and then adds 20 brand new songs in this 2 cd
anniversary collection.

An Evening with
COWBOY JUNKIES
Saturday, July 20, 2024
Sometimes revolutions begin quietly.
In 1988, Cowboy Junkies proved that there was an audience waiting for something
quiet, beautiful and reflective. The Trinity Session was like a whisper that cut through
the noise -- and it was compelling. It stood out in the midst of the flash and bombast that
came to define the late 80's. The now classic recording combined folk, blues and rock in
a way that had never been heard before and went on to sell more than a million copies.
Formed in Toronto in 1985 with siblings Michael Timmins on guitar, Margo Timmins on
vocals, Peter Timmins on drums, and Michael’s lifelong friend Alan Anton on bass, the
band has sparkled over the course of 26 albums. “I’ve known Alan longer than I’ve
known Pete,” says Michael. “We were friends before Pete was born.”
Unlike most long-lasting groups, Cowboy Junkies have never had a break up or taken a
sanity-saving hiatus. There’s an appreciation of each other that keeps them constantly
working. “It’s that intimacy and understanding of what each one of us brings to the
table,” says Michael. Cowboy Junkies’ will be performing a career-spanning show,
including their new album, ‘Such Ferocious Beauty’, which was released worldwide on
June 2, 2023 to universal critical acclaim.

WILDFLOWERS
Tribute to Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
March 29th, 2025
The international touring band The Wildflowers are North America’s #1 Tribute to Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.
“Who doesn’t love Tom Petty?” bassist Darryell Stone asked himself one day in 2012 while listening to the radio. There was only one answer he could imagine, “Nobody.” Testing his hypothesis, Stone polled friends, family and fellow musicians how they felt about Petty. The result was always the same. Everyone loves Tom Petty.
One of these fellow musicians just happened to be Tom Petty’s doppelganger, guitarist and lead vocalist Jonathan Guthrie. Guthrie was an avid fan and had always fantasized about being a Heartbreaker. As two seasoned musicians and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers fans, there was really only one thing for them to do – form a Tom Petty tribute band.
It wasn’t hard for Stone and Guthrie to find skilled musicians excited about playing in a Tom Petty tribute band. Drummer Steve Lucas, formerly of Feverdog and a bandmate of Stone’s local band, Theatrix, quickly signed on. Lucas brought with him his M-80’s band mate Glenn Freeman. Freeman, who boasts of seeing multiple Tom Petty concerts in the 80s, brought an instrumental cornucopia to the group with keyboards, harmonica, guitar and backing vocals. Lead guitarist Curt Granger rounded out the lineup. With 30+ years experience in Birmingham’s local music scene, Granger has played in such circuit bands as Pyrate, Scream Sophie, and his own solo project, as well as creating a line of world-renowned boutique guitar amplifiers.
The new Tom Petty tribute band rehearsed with one focus – to recreate the music of Tom Petty with precision, attention to detail, and a reverent respect. Parts were studied in great detail, down to inflections in the very way each word of every lyric was sung.
Performing locally in the first year, it didn’t take long for the band to be noticed. Word spread quickly, which led to more shows outside the band’s home state, which led to more word of mouth and exposure. Soon the band was gaining interest from venues across the southeast, which led to more travel and more Tom Petty fans discovering them.
Jump ahead 100 shows and The Wildflowers have become one of the most popular tribute shows across the southeast US, and quickly gaining recognition in other regions.
Equipped with decades of experience and a passion for Tom Petty’s magic way with songs, The Wildflowers bring music lovers of all stripes what they adore. More Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.
