LOTL Welcomes Candace Bellamy.debut her new CD' In My Lane '

Bellamy grew up in Knoxville, which likely influenced the rock and country sounds that can be heard in her music.Knoxville is about 400 miles east of Memphis, which is the city associated with the gospel, blues and soul music that can also be heard in Bellamy's music. Bellamy grew up wanting to be a doctor, and she achieved her dreams. Yet, her experience singing in ensembles in high school and college left her with an unscratched itch to perform. She filled that need by acting in musical theater, taking voice lessons and singing. Finally, the child who was told that she could accomplish anything took the risk of walking away from her career as a doctor and pursuing a music career. That pursuit took Bellamy to the southwestern musical capital of Austin, Texas, where she sang in multiple bands, studied music at the University of Texas and immersed herself in that city's music scene. That is where SoulTracks discovered her in 2010 when Bellamy released the excellent EP A Thousand Shades of Blue, and she continues to make music that merges gospel, soul, blues, rock and country on her first full-length project, In My Lane.
