Both Massachusetts natives and former collegiate athletes, Ayla Brown and Rob Bellamy found each other more than 1,000 miles from home while songwriting in Nashville.  What began as a creative collaboration quickly grew into a magnetic musical partnership — and eventually a lifelong one.  After recording demos, sharing viral videos on Facebook and YouTube, and touring together up and down the East Coast, the duo married in 2021 and are now raising two young sons, Barrett and Brock, while continuing to build serious momentum in country music.

Ayla Brown brings a nationally recognized résumé and commanding stage presence.  Top 13 finalist on Season 5 of American Idol, she has released five studio albums, performed twice on the Grand Ole Opry, and entertained U.S. troops overseas in 13 countries. Her career includes live national television appearances on ESPN, FOX & Friends, CNN, and CBS, along with opening for country legends and hitmakers including Lynyrd Skynyrd, Eric Church, Jason Aldean, Charlie Daniels, Josh Turner, Sara Evans, Phil Vassar, and more. A former full-scholarship basketball player at Boston College, Ayla is also a familiar voice across New England as she was the co-host of Country Mornings with Jonathan and Ayla on Country 102.5 WKLB in Boston. She now hosts The Flyover Podcast, a national news podcast. 

Rob Bellamy recorded and released an EP called Long Freight Train in 2016 and numerous singles. Since the release he has been touring and opening up for country music artists such as Carly Pearce, Mark Wills, Dylan Scott and Russell Dickerson. Rob played hockey for four years at the University of Maine, and in 2004 he was drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in the 3rd round, and played 7 years of semi-professional hockey in Pennsylvania, New York, South Carolina, and England. He currently has a band called “Rob Bellamy and the Rebel Hearts,” and their music can be found now on all streaming platforms.
