The Bellamy Brothers’ hit reality series “Honky Tonk Ranch” will premiere on American Country Network starting tomorrow, Tuesday, April 1. Full airing schedule below.

“Honky Tonk Ranch” chronicles the Bellamy Brothers’ “unusual lives, blending music stardom, vigorous road tours and cattle ranching (Tampa Bay Times).” The first four seasons feature special guest appearances from Dennis Quaid, Blake Shelton, Tanya Tucker, Lauren Alaina, Joe Diffie, Johnny Lee, Gene Watson and many more of their famous friends.

The duo most recently released Double Dog Dare via Bellamy Brothers Records and Select-O-Hits. The 12-song collection includes their “sublimely country (MusicRow)” collaboration, “Forever Ain’t Long Enough” with Gene Watson and “I’d Lie to You For Your Love” featuring the late K.T. Oslin, dubbed by Country Universe as “one of the best records released this year.” Double Dog Dare also includes a duet with The Isaacs and forthcoming video.

This fall will mark the Bellamy Brothers’ 50th anniversary of recording their iconic hit “Let Your Love Flow,” which Budweiser recently used for their Super Bowl ad, “First Delivery,” ranked No. 1 by USA Today Ad Meter. Along with their non-stop touring schedule, the Bellamys are also busy with their Trulieve medical marijuana brand Old Hippie Stash, which includes the strains Reggae Cowboy, Big Love, Afterglow, Rattler, Blue Rodeo and Bird Dog.
