McALISTER KEMP HAVE A WINNING WEEKEND
Picking up Australian Video of the year and winning over the huge crowd at CMC Rocks the Hunter.
It's only March and McAlister Kemp have already had a spectacular year. This weekend saw the guys collect the award for CMC Australian Video of the Year at the Awards on Friday night and Saturday they owned the main stage at CMC Rocks the Hunter. After picking up the time slot when Billy Ray Cyrus feel ill and was unable to make it, the duo proved that Australia has home grown talent who can well and truly hold their own against international acts.
The boys even showed some good old Aussie hospitality getting Stephen Barker Liles from Love and Theft up on stage during their set. Love and Theft were scheduled to perform at CMC but when the wife of Stephen's band mate Eric Gunderson went into labour 10 weeks early. Eric raced home to be with her and Stephen was here with his boots on, guitar at the ready and eager to get in front of an the Australian crowd. McAlister Kemp were more than happy to oblige. The trio cranked out Brooks & Dunn's "Play Something Country". Eric and Wife Emily had a gorgeous baby boy who they named Camden. Good news all around.
McAlister Kemps brand of high energy country rock seems to have found its place, with growing interest both at home and overseas. These two seasoned musicians love nothing more than being in front of a live crowd and can't wait to get out on tour. They have opened for US country superstar Alan Jackson, performed at the CMA Music Festival, Global Artist Party in Nashville and have quickly become a regular headline act at major festivals across Australia.
Their towering presence and set list full of anthemic country rock songs like Hell Yeah, Cold Beer Hot Women, and Till the Wheels fall off and Country Proud, makes their show a night not to be missed. You can catch McAlister Kemp at Rooty Hill this Saturday on the last date of their Country Proud Tour. Check out the website for more details. www.mcalisterkemp.com
