With their patented blend of rock/country music; The Bellamy Brothers officially lifted off the launch pad in 1976 when their single, “Let Your Love Flow,” became an instant smash in both the U.S. and Europe. It stayed on the international charts long enough to build a huge international fan base for the hip young brothers that endures to this day. The Bellamy Brothers hold the record in both the Academy of Country Music (ACM) and the Country Music Association Awards (CMA) for the most duo nominations. Numerous Grammy nods have also been directed toward the brothers.
Visitors to the booth will also be able to register to win Cobra Electronics Products, CB Radios, GPS Units, ToughTested Gear, and much more. Support for Red Eye Radio’s 2018 Great American Trucking Show events and activities include: Pilot Flying J, Chevron Delo, Mercer Transportation, ToughTested, The St. Christopher Fund, Motel 6, and Uniroyal Commercial Truck Tires… Affordable and Dependable.
