Sounds Like: Kenny is an extremely talented guitar player who has worked alongside such artistes as George Benson and Donna Summer. 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. DJ Ken Mcleod says "Zoe has a tremendous country music singing voice" and she has been singing professionally since she was a young child. "We're raising the rooftops to recommend MckenZie and their music" - Irene Tradewell, Country Routes Magazine. "Real country music" - Maurice Hope, Maverick Magazine. McKenZie's music is mastered by engineer-guru Edward Vinatea at wwwMusicMasteringOnline.com in NYC
