McAlister Kemp, alias Drew McAlister and Troy Kemp 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 a tribute to the late Johnny Cash, discovering not only that their voices blended well together but also that they were very much on the same page with regard to writing their own material.
McAlister Kemp released their debut album All Kinds Of Tough on January 15 with producer Matt Fell (Sara Storer, Butterfly 9, Damien Leith) at the helm.
The Sunny Cowgirls, Sophie and Celeste Clabburn, were raised on Sunninghill, the family farm at Dunkeld near Hamilton, Victoria, before the whole family moved to Perth, WA when the girls were in primary school.
After four years of working around the country and doing the occasional gig, they raised enough cash to approach Perth record producer Mark Donohoe to showcase their writing and music.
Their latest album Summer has just been released.

Hi Jeff,
Great to hear you enjoyed the afternoon, it was lots of fun to be involved in and all three artists blew us away with their great performances in a room that normally holds meetings! Looking forward to planning something similar next year.

I was very fortunate to be at the gig put on by ABC New England NW. It was one of my highlghts for CMF. It was great to catch up with old freinds, Catherine Britt, Soph and Less and the meet a great new act, McAlister Kemp. Catherine and the Sunny Cowgirls were their usual brillant best. The find of CMF no doubtably will be McAlsiter Kemp and what a brilliant signing ABC!!! Drew and Troy will go places if the right breaks come their way. I again heard them with Adam Brand. They showed quick thinking, when the power went out at Blazes, to go into the middle of the audience, no power, no lights, no sound and just keep the crowd happy with some accapelo perfermances. I again met Drew and Troy at the beginning of Cavalcade and remarked that some of their work sounds similar to Montgomery Gentry. They were very happy with that a comparison!!!
In all, 3 great acts, a broad example of Australian country music and a great little gathering put on by the ABC Newengland NW. Well done Anna, Kelly and staff, great afternoon.
kindest regards,
Jeff
