Twin brother country duo The Kentucky Gentlemen have signed a record deal with River House Artists.

“The second we met Lynn [Oliver-Cline] and the River House Artists team, we knew they truly believed in us and our vision,” says the duo. “We’re beyond excited for what’s to come with this next chapter of The Kentucky Gentlemen alongside River House. We can’t wait to continue to share who we are and our music with the world.”

The Kentucky Gentlemen have become one of Nashville’s most buzzed-about new acts, amassing over a million streams with their recent singles “Leave Right Now,” “Neon Cowboy,” and “Beg Your Parton.” With a rapidly expanding fanbase and growing respect from industry peers, the duo have spent the past year touring with The War & Treaty and collaborating on tracks with Will Hoge (“Can I Be Country, Too?”) and Fancy Hagood (“Better Man”).

Named one of GLAAD’s “New Voices in Country Music,” they’ve also earned spots on numerous “Artists to Watch” lists from outlets like NPR, BET and Nashville Scene. Their 2022 debut EP, The Kentucky Gentlemen: Vol. 1, received widespread praise.

“I first met Brandon and Derek at a Music City Bowl event in 2023,” shares Oliver-Cline, River House Founder. “After that, I kept seeing them everywhere…shows, interviews. Not only are they talented and hardworking, they are very country! And they represent a time in the genre that shows it’s a place for everyone to gather. I can’t wait for everyone to hear their record later this year and especially see a live show. It’s incredibly special and fun and we are honored to be their partner in the next phase of their career.”

Additionally, the duo released their newest track “Country Hymn” today (Jan. 17). The brothers co-wrote the track with David “Messy” Mescon, who also produced the single. The feel-good country anthem invites listeners to embrace their true selves, paired with a music video showcasing the duo dressed in their rhinestone-studded Sunday best.

“‘Country Hymn’ is our heartfelt anthem reminding us to return to the basics, embrace our roots and truly start extending each other’s grace in this world,” adds The Kentucky Gentlemen. “We feel that those values are timeless and we live by them. We cherish our roots and it feels amazing to tap even further into our love for country music with this song. ‘Country Hymn’ is our invitation to simply come as you are.”
