ABC Music have announced the signing of emerging male country duo, McAlister Kemp.
McAlister Kemp is the bringing together of two talented artists in their own right - Drew McAlister and Troy Kemp. Both are born and bred country boys. Drew was born in Narrabri and raised in Moree and Troy born and raised in Kempsey.
The duo met when both were cast to perform in “Aussie’s Walk The Line - A Tribute To Johnny Cash”. The pair found that not only did they gel as songwriters but their voices blended effortlessly as a duo.
McAlister Kemp are exclusively represented by Linda Chamarette and the team at Crossroads Touring Company and the deal with ABC Music follows the independent release their first single ‘Blue Collar Night’, produced by Adam Brand, earlier this year.
“We're thrilled at being given the opportunity to work with ABC Music, they're a label that is synonymous with quality music in Australia”, said McAlister Kemp
“Drew and Troy are both seasoned and talented artists in their own right, but as a duo they are a unique and refreshing combination we believe will really connect with country fans of all ages”, said Robert Patterson, Head of ABC Music.
McAlister Kemp are currently recording their debut album with producers Mett Fell and Adam Brand and their yet to be titled debut album will be released through ABC Music/Universal Music Australia on January 15, 2009.
