Xentel		.	The Bellamy Brothers
			An avid country music fan, Howard and David Bellamy's father would often wake them to the sounds of Merle Haggard or Buck Owens. They grew up surrounded by the harmonies of rhythms of the Jamaican fruit harvesters working in the family's West Central Florida orange groves during the day. Exposure to Elvis, Ricky Nelson, Buddy Holly and the Everly Brothers as well as the British Invasion and the Cultural Revolution in the 60's resulted in their highly individualistic style and sound they have taken on the road for more than 20 years. Averaging more than 250 world-wide dates per year, the Brothers are one of the most active touring bands in the business. "We've never toured with smoke and mirrors," Howard explains. "We'd rather let the music speak than the smoke. We've gone with the idea that we're going to have fun and the audience is, too. So, we've always been known as a live act." "Performing is not something we got into for the money. We got into it for the love of it. We just enjoy it. It is a lifestyle with us," adds Howard. "You learn how to feel at home wherever you are. You have to adapt. That's how we've managed to stay on the road so long." "We're not traditional country. We have a variety in our show from country to reggae, which makes us appealing to a younger audience as well as our longtime dedicated fans," he continues. "When people come to our shows, they end up dancing. We feel like we haven't done our job if people don't get up and move with us. We enjoy that. We don't care if they go wild." "David and I have always been goal setters," explains Howard. "While keeping our eye on the big picture, we still keep in mind that it takes one step at a time to achieve any goal. From starting our own record label to taking charge of the overseas market, we have never been content with just staying where we are. Those who do just stand still and never move forward. We're proud of what we've done, but we're more than excited about where we're going."
