Belmez Entertainment LLC is a special events production company. Founder, Joseph N. Abraham III spent several years working aboard Holland America Cruise Ships for their entertainment department as an assistant cruise director. It was out at sea where Abraham discovered his passion for music and special events. Being in front of and commanding the attention of large crowds on a daily basis, helped to bring out Abraham's natural gift for entertainment. In his off time, he would spend nights out on the decks writing tunes.
Leaving the ships in Seattle, Abraham hitched a ride to LA with only a guitar and a suitcase to continue his career in the entertainment industry. He spent several years in Los Angeles where he performed in many major LA venues. Abraham then decided to continue his growth in the entertainment industry by moving down to Austin, Texas.
Belmez Entertainment LLC currently resides in Cleveland, OH. With the assistance of fellow friends and band mates: drummer -Sherman Delozier and keyboard player -Mike Brogan, Belmez Entertainment LLC continues to make bold strides in the entertainment industry.
Belmez Entertainment LLC specializes in coordinating limo packages to transport guests to/from venues, contracting venues to host events, and for artists they act as an extension of a venue's booking department. Most notably, Belmez Entertainment LLC hosted a 4- day music fest during SXSW 2009 in Austin, Texas featuring over 50 bands. Belmez Entertainment LLC has worked with Record Labels, Artist Management, Industry Professionals, and National Sponsors to collaborate on the awareness and overall success of these events.
This is an entertainment company run by entertainers, which sets the company apart. Belmez, critically acclaimed by Music Connection Magazine as one of the hot 100 unsigned bands of the year is definitely making their mark in the music industry. Their first album, Make Way For Tomorrow, is now available.
Belmez refers to their style of music as Street Rock, where we've been, where we are, and where we are going.
"With a sound that combines Live with the Cure, this group creates material that resists ordinary labels. It's definitely rock, but it also indulges almost every sub-genre within that category. Musically intriguing, this act is hard to pin down. But, what isn't hard is recognizing a band that has something special. Though they confuse, they also enlighten. And, that peculiar aspect could bring Belmez the attention they deserve."
