The Bellamy Brothers

Lefra Productions is proud to announce that the American pop and country favourites, The Bellamy Brothers, will be touring South Africa and Namibia in November 2017. The duo is famous for international hits like "Let Your Love Flow", "If I Said You Have a Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me" and "Crazy From the Heart". The well-known South African country singer, Jason Bradley, will serve as the opening act for The Bellamy Brothers.

The Bellamy Brothers, Howard and David, continue to prove that the trail they have ridden to fame has been as unique as their music, which is now celebrating forty years of success. Their chart success in the 1970s and 1980s paved the way for country duos like Brooks & Dunn, Montgomery Gentry, Big & Rich, and The Judds. With David writing the breakout hit, "Spiders & Snakes," which rocketed the brothers onto the Los Angeles music scene, the pair released their first single, "Let Your Love Flow" in 1976. Success followed success with their next single, "If I Said You Had A Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me," proving to be the first of a string of hits, including "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," "Reggae Cowboy" and "Crazy From The Heart." All line the corridors of The Bellamy Brothers' musical history with platinum and gold.

These days when the subject turns to touring, The Bellamys are showing a new generation of country music how things are done. Commenting on the motivation behind The Bellamy Brothers' more than two hundred concert dates each year, Howard says:

We're old road dogs.

David adds:

Our live draw is bigger than it was in the '80s. I think the same people that grew up with us and with our music in the '60s and '70s 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.

The Bellamy Brothers' latest project is their new album titled FORTY YEARS, an ambitious project that celebrates their career with twenty of their biggest hits and then adds twice brand new songs in this two-disc anniversary collection.
