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 hurt that their father, David Bellamy, of the Bellamy Brothers was there along the way encouraging and fostering their talents.
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.
Internationally, Jesse and Noah have 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. Jesse even earned his first gold record in Denmark after his composition You’re the World was recorded by Danish singer Wenche Hartmann on her 2007 release Here I Am an album that feature such notables as Albert Hammond and Billy Swan as well as the Bellamy Brothers.
With two self produced singles from their 2008 Album Nowhere Revisited—the friendly warning Daddy’s Got a Shotgun and the rambunctious Wild and Willin’—reaching 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.
September 2010 saw the release of Jesse and Noah’s second album, Landfall, on Luna Chica Records. Completely self-produced and recorded at the duo’s home studio, the brothers are notable for their writing, engineering, and the playing of almost all instruments on the album as well as sharing production duties. Landfall reflects these talented artists’ true vision of their unique sound and is being recognized by fans and critics alike. The first single, “First Call After Last Call” received radio chart success in Texas and the brothers are just released their next single, “Dirty With A Southern Drawl”, their homage to Southern women, in January 2011. The video, directed by Memphis film maverick, Mike McCarthy, is already stirring up country audiences with its WWII themes and playful pinups insistent on doing their part for the US war efforts.
