Hey Facebook
Family,
So here we are..... Six years down the road and what a ride it has been! We are so appreciative of the amazing journey we've had so far - for the incredible audiences that come to our shows, and the people who buy our albums, thank you so much!!
Adam Brand,
Linda Chamarette and our incredible record company, ABC Music, really took a
chance signing us as a duo after considerable time developing our solo careers,
a huge blessing which opened up unexpected and incredible new phase in our
lives.
Now it's time for a change and a new chapter in both of our careers.
We both want
to explore some solo projects, so from March next year we will taking an
indefinite break from MK.
We still have
some awesome shows ahead as McAlister Kemp and we really hope you can make it
to those shows. As we make plans for 2015, we want to include you in both our
journeys and share the tonnes of exciting things we are planning on different
paths.
So, we look forward to seeing you out on the road, don’t miss out, come say hi and enjoy the MK ride for the next little while and don’t worry, we’ll be there for Cruisin’ Country 2015 as promised (who’d want to miss that!!).
And please know
there is no bad blood here! We are two brothers that just need to scratch an
itch creatively speaking.
We don't know
what the future holds but you can be guaranteed that some great songs are
coming your way from both of us… Finally to celebrate our 6 years, we are
pulling together a Best Of Album which will include our new single ‘100 YEARS
THE ANZAC’, plus previously unreleased tracks.
We love you
guys and maybe we haven't expressed that as much as we should have but please
know that the only reason we have had the last amazing 6 years is because of
YOU!!
Cheers
Drew &
Troy
