The Bellamy Brothers will highlight the San Antonio Relay For Life

April 12, 2008

Pasco County's favorite musical duo, The Bellamy Brothers, will highlight the Relay For Life on April 12 in the San Antonio City Park. Their benefit concert, from 7:00 - 8:30 p.m., will be the centerpiece of a day and night of musical entertainment and games. All donations will be welcome and will be given to the American Cancer Society.

Relay For Life is the signature event for the American Cancer Society. The event will begin at 12:00 noon on Saturday with the Survivors' Walk and will close at 6:00 a.m. Sunday. Last year, San Antonio's first Relay For Life, twenty-one teams earned $62,000, far surpassing the $35,000 goal. This year's goal is $69,000. To date, over $28,000 has been raised through donations and off-site fundraisers.

Before, during, and after the concert team members and others will be walking the track around the park. Walkers will be on the track for the entire 18 hours - "Cancer doesn't sleep and neither will we!" Teams will have set up campsites where they will sell food, games, and tickets for chance drawings. At 9:00 p.m., following The Bellamy Brothers' concert, the Ceremony of Hope will be held. One thousand candles will be lit and placed around the track honoring those who have survived their fight with cancer and those who have lost their lives to this disease. The luminaria will remain in place throughout the night.

The Bellamy Brothers, Howard and David, were born and raised in nearby Darby and began their musical journey during their childhoods. Without any formal training, they mastered several instruments and in college started playing paid gigs. Their first official gig was in 1968, playing a free show with their father at the San Antonio Rattlesnake Roundup. Their big break came with "Spiders & Snakes," written by David and performed by Jim Staffford. "Spiders & Snakes" became a top 5 hit and went on to sell three million copies. The brothers' first hit was "Let Your Love Flow," followed by the Grammy-winning "If I Said You Had A Beautiful Body (Would You Hold It Against Me)," "You Ain't Just whistlin' Dixie," "Kids of the Baby Boom," "For All the Wrong Reasons," and "Old Hippie." The Bellamy Brothers have garnered more nominations than any other artist in the Duo Category for the Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music Awards and have received a number of Grammy awards.

They were recently nominated for their first Dove Awards in two categories: Country Album ("Jesus Is Coming") and Country Recorded song ("Drug Problem"). The awards will be handed out at the 39th Annual Dove Awards on April 23, to be aired live on the Gospel Music Channel. "This nomination means more to us than any we've received in our career," say The Bellamy Brothers. "This album has brought us full circle in our music and faith."

The Bellamy Brothers travel extensively throughout the United States and Europe. On their infrequent days off from the road, they head the bus back to their 150-acre family ranch in Darby. A working ranch, the spread consists of Purebred Charlois cattle and quarter horses. Three generations of the Bellamy family, headed by David and Howard's mother, Frances, populate the homes clustered in the family compound.
