Bellamy Brothers Starting To Garner Strong Support For New CD, Jesus Is Coming

 

Nashville, TN (July 20, 2007) ----- The dynamic brother duo, The Bellamy Brothers, continue to get great reaction on their latest CD, Jesus Is Coming, that was just released.  The project is the first Christian album from Howard and David Bellamy and features twelve new songs and a Gospel remix of the mega-hit, “Let Your Love Flow.”  The CD was produced by The Bellamy Brothers and Randy Hiebert and is being released through Curb/Bellamy Brothers Records.

 

The first single from the project, “Drug Problem,” is getting great reaction from audiences on The Bellamy Brother’s heavy tour schedule and got a tremendous response at the duo’s Grand Ole Opry appearance on July 17^th.  The Bellamy Brothers shared the historic stage that evening with Trace Adkins, Kellie Pickler, Jo Dee Messina, Pat Green, and other Opry regulars.  The Gospel Music Channel was backstage to capture The Bellamy Brother’s performance and get an interview with Howard and David on their tour bus.  The duo also did a radio interview for Grand Ole Opry Weekend.

 

While in Nashville for the Opry, The Bellamy Brothers made good use of their time with several other media interviews.  They stopped by the studio of WKDF, The Wolf, and spent an hour with morning show host, Shannon McCombs.  They also did radio interviews for XM Radio, Associated Press Radio, Huntsman Entertainment, and stopped by the office of Country Aircheck for a visit with editor, Lon Helton and staff.  Then there were Christian interviews with Homecoming Magazine, Christian Music Planet, and Power Source magazine.
