ABOUT COLLIN RAYE:
Collin Raye's searing ballads and electric performances have been captivating country audiences for more than 25 years. With 16 No. 1 hits, 24 top 10s and ten Male Vocalist Of The Year nominations, Raye has clearly emerged as one of the great voices of our time. The De Queen, Arkansas native rose to fame in 1991 with the timeless number one hit, "Love, Me." In 1994, his music video for "Little Rock," led to over 100,000 phone calls to help lines from those seeking help with their addictions. "Not That Different," was a song that pleaded for tolerance, and "I Think About You" (awarded as "Video Of The Year" by the Academy of Country
Music in 1997) exposed exploitation of women and children. His latest album projects include His Love Remains, his first inspirational hymns album, as well as Still On The Line, a tribute album to Glen Campbell. In 2014, he released his moving autobiography, A Voice Undefeated. He has topped the charts with songs such as "In This Life," "I Can Still Feel You," and "That's My Story," "One Boy, One Girl" and more. He is currently performing across the U.S. on The Big 25 Tour.

ABOUT THE BELLAMY BROTHERS:
Howard and
David continue to prove that the trail they've ridden to fame has been as unique as their music itself—music that is now celebrating 40 years of success. The road that started on the pop music charts in the '70's, took a winding turn into country music in the '80's, paving the way for duos to come, such as Brooks & Dunn, Montgomery Gentry, Big & Rich, and The Judds. "If I Said You Had A Beautiful Body (Would You Hold It Against Me)," originally scrawled on a dinner napkin by David, rocketed them to the top of the country charts the way "Let Your Love Flow," had done in the pop market just a few years earlier. It proved to be the first of a string of fourteen No. 1 singles in the U.S. alone. They're the only U.S. country music act who've toured in India, Sri Lanka, New Caledonia and Qatar. 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. For more information, visit BellamyBrothers.com.
