DESCRIPTION:
THE BEL AIRES ARE A SIXTIES SHOW BAND SPECIALIZING IN THE SOUNDS OF AN ERA THAT BROUGHT US THE BRITISH INVASION TO THE MOTOWN SOUND TO THE UNIQUE SPIRIT OF CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL. THE GROUP IS VERY VERSATILE WITH EXCELLENT VOCALS, MUSIC INTERPRETATION, AND A HORN SECTION THAT EXEMPLIFIES THAT PERIOD MUSIC. WE ALSO PERFORM A 45 MINUTE ELVIS SKIT AND A 45 MINUTE BEATLES SKIT IN PERIOD CLOTHING IF REQUESTED.THE HISTORY OF THE GROUP BEGAN IN 1966 WHEN A FEW YOUNG MUSICIANS FROM NORTH GEORGIA FORMED A GROUP CALLED THE INMATES. THEY PLAYED AT MANY SOCK HOPS, PROMS, TEEN TOWNS AND PRIVATE PARTIES IN THE TRI-STATE AREA AND PLAYED AT WEST GEORGIA COLLEGE, BERRY COLLEGE AND THE SUWANEE MILITARY ACADEMY. THE INMATES PERFORMED THEIR FINAL ENGAGEMENT AT THE REID HOUSE IN CHATTANOOGA,TN, IN 1971. IN 1978 SOME OF THE OLD MEMBERS GOT BACK TOGETHER TO PERFORM AT A HIGH SCHOOL CLASS REUNION AND ULTIMATELY A NEW BAND CALLED THE BOYS AT HEART WAS FORMED. COUNTRY ROCK WAS THE MUSIC OF CHOICE AND THE BAND BECAME WELL FOLLOWED, PLAYING AT MANY VENUES INCLUDING COUNTRY CLUBS, ELK LODGES, AND HOLIDAY AND RAMADA INNS. THEY OPENED FOR SUCH ACTS AS THE JUDDS, GEORGE STRAIGHT, MERLE HAGGARD, HANK WILLIAMS,JR., LORETTA LYNN, EARL THOMAS CONLEY, TOM T. HALL, RAZZY BAILEY, THE NITTY GRITTY DIRT BAND AND THE KENDALLS.
IN THE EARLY 90'S, THE BAND TOURED CANADA. IN 1995 THE RIGORS OF THE ROAD TOOK ITS TOLL AND THE LEGACY OF THE BOYS AT HEART BECAME HISTORY. IN THE SPRING OF 2006 A REUNION SHOW WAS PLANNED AND SINCE THEN
EIGHT MEMBERS OF THESE BELOVED BANDS ARE CREATING A NEW LEGACY...AS THE BEL AIRES.
