One Hell of a Ride

About Me


Born and raised in the small southern town of West End, North Carolina comes the rocking new duo...McKenzies Mill. Founded by brothers Justin and Ryan Harris, the boys along with their good friend and lead guitar player Tony Barnes, packed their bags in the fall of 2005 and relocated to Nashville, Tennessee. After recording their debut album in the winter of 2006 McKenzies Mill set their sights on spreading their unique blend of harmony based southern rock/country. Combining down home subject matter and a natural story telling ability their lyrics take the audience on journeys from the campfire to the barstool, down dirt roads and blacktops, slinging gravel and finding plenty of trouble along the way. Through unique guitar based anthems and soaring harmonies that can only be captured by brothers, McKenzies Mill promises “one hell of a ride” Come listen to the tunes and take a night out partying with Mckenzies Mill...you will find yourself coming back for more!***Justin and Ryan would like to thank a few guys for helping us get this project off the ground. First and foremost Mr. Tony Barnes. Tony is an integral part of the MM sound and has been there since day one. The band would certainly not be where it is today without his insight and hard work...thanks buddy! Four very good friends of the band who joined McKenzies Mill on tour last year: Mike (Miketrain) Roberts, Stewart (Angus) Aull, John Lauterer, and Joe Paris. Thanks so much for your dedication to the band guys, it is greatly apprecaited!*** . CDBABY LINK for MCKENZIES MILL: One Hell of a Ride --
