Westwood One’s Red Eye Radio Network will kick off the Great American Trucking Show (GATS) with a special meet and greet for attendees with the Legendary Grammy Nominated Bellamy Brothers!

The Great American Trucking Show, a trucking convention with over 500,000 feet of exhibit space, will take place August 23-25, 2018 at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas, Texas. Eric Harley and Gary McNamara, hosts of Red Eye Radio, will be on site in the lobby to introduce attendees to the sizzling lineup of Country music artists and celebrities. The special guests will visit Red Eye Radio’s lobby booth to sign autographs, take photos, and talk with drivers. Artists Curtis Grimes, David Adam Byrnes, Tyler Jordan, Bill Weaver, Taylor Barker, Cowboy Matt, and Tony Justice will also perform live during the event.

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.
