Career

In January 2004, RightMarch.com posted their first song, the country-flavored "Hey Hollywood," on their website, and in 72 hours it received 15,000 downloads. Within a few weeks the number was over 35,000. Later, a new song and video surfaced, the anti-abortion and pro-adoption "I Want To Live" [9] and received over 1 million views.

Their song "Bush Was Right" was a topic on cable news, such as MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann.[10]

Before releasing their last CD, The Right Brothers compiled a special 10-song disc to honor American troops. In 2006, the band opened for Sean Hannity at a rally for Georgia Lieutenant Governor candidate Ralph Reed.[11]

The Right Brothers have appeared on various venues, such as The Michael Medved Show, Maxim Radio, The Hugh Hewitt Show, The Lars Larson Show, C-SPAN, Sound-off Connecticut with Jim Vicevich, The Kirby Wilbur Show in Seattle, Washington, The Liddy & Hill Show in Phoenix, Arizona, The Martha Zoller Show, RightMarch Radio, Take a Stand with Adam McManus, and others. Their music also has been heard on The G. Gordon Liddy Show, as well as National Public Radio.[12]
