About Me |

| Kenny & Zoe form the duo McKenZie, and they released their album of original country music, "Walking on Steel" in November 2007. They much enjoyed opening the Great Scottish Country Music Festival in Ayr, Scotland, on November 2nd 2007 and look forward to appearing at the festival again this year. McKenZie were featured as the spotlight UK country artiste by ukcountryradio.com on the first weekend in February 2008 and have also recieved airplay on national radio, including BBC Kent & Shropshire. At Radio Tay Am, DJ Ken Mcleod described their album as "pure magic". Hope you enjoy the music!

He has a unique sound and is a master of many styles, and his voice has been compared to that of a young Elvis! On thier album "Walking on Steel" he and Zoe perform thier own brand of country music and to quote DJ John Gould, provide an added "dash of British danceabilty" to thier songs.
