Troy Kemp

With multiple Australian Country Chart #1 singles, a Golden Guitar, 2 CMC Awards and half a decade of touring under his belt, Troy Kemp is one of Australia’s most recognisable country music talents. As part of award winning duo McAlister Kemp, Troy achieved recognition and accolade both locally and internationally, headlining some of the nations biggest music festivals and has remained a mainstay in country radio and television charts over the past 5 years. On the strength of their Top 10 Aria charting debut album, All Kinds Of Tough, in 2010, McAlister Kemp went on to win the Golden Guitar at the 2011 Tamworth Country Music Awards for “Best New Talent”. McAlister Kemp continued to work hard and the duo released 2 more studio albums, Country Proud and Harder to Tame, which both boasted more #1 singles and sold out Australian Tours. With McAlister Kemp folding in March 2015 Troy now continues to grow his profile in both Australia and overseas as a solo artist. Troy released his debut solo album “Against The Grain” in December 2015, a hard-hitting country-rock album that really defines Kemp and his sound. The first 2 singles off the album “How We Roll Around Here” and “Small Town Girl” have both recently climbed their way to the #1 Spot on the CMC and Australian Top 40 Country Radio Charts. About his brand new album Troy says, “Against the Grain is the result of a year and a half of writing and recording songs with my good friend and guitar virtuoso, Jeremy Barnes.  We set out to write a bunch of country songs for an album that has a little bit of something for everyone. It has big rocking moments all the way down to heartfelt moments and we are proud of what we have achieved.  We also embraced the challenge of producing the album and hope people enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.” Award Winning Australian Country Music Artist.
