The Bellamy Brothers have been tapped to receive the “W” Award by the Republican Party of Florida on January 18^th in Washington DC. The award recognizes the Bellamys for their efforts on behalf of President Bush. Florida Senator Mel Martinez, Astronaut Buzz Aldrin and Country Music singer Mark Chesnutt, among other notables, will be receiving the “W” Award. 

The country music duo has also been invited by the Presidential Inaugural Committee to the Liberty Ball which is hosted by the State of Florida on January 20^th in Washington DC. Longtime residents of Florida, the Bellamys will emcee the event as well as sing the National Anthem. The invitation to the Liberty Ball was extended to the duo in appreciation for the numerous rallies they’ve performed at in support of President Bush’s re-election campaign. The Bellamys also supported the President during the campaign of 2000.

Explains Howard Bellamy, “We’re very honored to perform at this event celebrating President Bush’s second term.  Plus, since it’s a Floridian event, it will be fun to perform for a hometown crowd in DC!”

2005 marks the 30^th anniversary of The Bellamy Brothers soaring to the top of the pop charts with their mega-hit “Let Your Love Flow.” By the late seventies, they hit the top of the country charts with “If I Said You had A Beautiful Body (Would You Hold It Against Me)”. A string of gold and platinum records followed as they racked up fourteen number one hits. Just back from performing for the US troops based in Korea David and Howard Bellamy have been juggling time between touring and recording their much anticipated duet project – with the working title Angels & Outlaws.  Thirty plus guest artists from many genres of music have recorded their vocals on over twenty of the Bellamys greatest hits and three new selections for a two disc series.

Angels and Outlaws Volume 1 is scheduled to be released in March 2005 on Curb Records with more details to follow soon.
