Unlike many other show-business duos these boys were close when they were young stayed close throughout their rise to stardom and remain close today.They had the toughness and stamina to fight for their career in a music industry that is programmed to grind up artists like so much street garbage. The constant succession of defeats and victories they experienced were not exceptional for recording artists. It was the way these brothers fought and outlasted their tormentors that made them different.The Bellamy Brothers have been delivering great music for a long time and they continue to project the joy energy harmonies and lyrical insights that have gained them an international following spanning six continents and numerous islands.

They typically play 135-150 dates a year foreign and domestic to satisfy the demands of their fans. Homer Howard Bellamy Jr. is the older of the two and it would be easy to call him the steadying influence were it not for the fact that when he got into trouble which happened often enough in his earlier years there was usually the devil to pay. Lets just say that Howard as everybody calls him is a mellow fellow (until you stir him up) who never felt he had a calling to fame and fortune and spent much of his youth in a low-key search for a future he could take or leave. The younger brother David Milton Bellamy is a different sort. While still in high school he made up his mind that his future would be music. He says its because he couldnt do anything else.This story is a great story to tell. Turn the page. Theyre ready to meet you.
