They’ve found an affinity for Texas music that could date back to The Bellamy Brothers touring the Lone Star State and their father returning to the ranch with albums by Texas artists — or while they toured the state as front men of their early band, Elston Gunnn. They say they realized a connection with the music and recognized that both Florida and Texas share a blend of cultures and musical styles that makes it difficult to view a particular sound as simply country or rock when it’s really a mix — like their country-rock harmony.
Early on, they converted an old hay barn to a recording studio, where they rehearsed and recorded their first demos. They listened to and learned from Guy Clark, Hank Williams Sr., The Byrds, Bob Dylan, Townes Van Zandt, Van Morrison, Johnny Cash, Willis Alan Ramsey, John Prine, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Graham Parsons, Waylon Jennings, The Beatles, Buck Owens, Rosanne Cash, George Jones, Emmy Lou Harris, Jimmie Rogers, The Eagles, The Band and Billy Joe Shaver.
Although they were raised on the family ranch in Florida, neither Jesse nor Noah Bellamy had aspirations of being a cattle rancher. Jesse relates, "We converted an old hay barn into a studio, that’s where we rehearsed and eventually began recording our first demos." It didn’t take the brothers long to realize where their individual strengths lie; Jesse began focusing on singing and songwriting duties in the group while Noah excelled in his guitar playing and harmony singing as well as engineering the recording sessions.
After high school the brothers started touring the East Coast and throughout the South, playing everything from state fairs and music festivals, such as South by Southwest, to clubs as diverse as Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge in Nashville, CBGB, the underground rock haven in New York City, and Billy Bob’s in Fort Worth. Working on the road gave them the opportunity to play before large and small crowds alike and test their music on the public. They sharpened their songwriting by making frequent trips to Nashville and networking with some of the city’s best songwriters and learning the tricks of the trade.
In the summers of 2005 and 2006, Jesse and Noah toured Europe where they performed at festivals in Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Wales, and the United Kingdom, delighting audiences with their unique country-rock sound while receiving rave reviews and significant international airplay along the way.
In 2007 two self produced singles—the friendly warning Daddy’s Got a Shotgun and the rambunctious Wild and Willin’—reached the top twenty on the Texas Music Charts and Texas Regional Reports. The duo’s smart storytelling lyrics, solid rock guitar, and outstanding harmonies set them apart from the pack, and they are just getting started.
