The Bellamy Brothers
Mar 9, 2014
The Bellamy Brothers have made history, by becoming the first Country artists to tour the Asian countries of India and Sri Lanka.
"When we arrived, they told us no other Country act had ever toured in these countries, which came as a bit of a surprise," said David Bellamy. "Collectively, the populations of India and Sri Lanka total about 1.3 billion and we learned that these people are huge fans of our music. We sold out every show and there are already other offers on the table for us to go back and tour again soon. It was a very rewarding experience for us."
Howard Bellamy added, "It was rejuvenating to tour two countries that we have never been to. It made me think back to the beginning of our career and the excitement of a new experience. Nothing gives you a broader outlook on the rest of the world than touring in countries like India and Sri Lanka. The fact that we appealed to a broad demographic in both countries and that these folks knew all the words to our songs was very special for us."
While touring the region, the Bellamy Brothers sold out three shows. In addition to upcoming stops in the United States, the duo will play shows in Brazil, Australia, New Caledonia, Switzerland, Germany, Norway, Denmark and Canada.
