Episode 12: Kentucky Gentlemen

Nov 15, 2023

For this episode of Pass the Mic, we talked to Brandon and Derek Campbell— twin brothers who form the country music duo Kentucky Gentlemen. Brandon and Derek grew up in Versailles, Kentucky where their involvement in performing began with singing in a church choir. The Kentucky Gentlemen were named “Artist to Watch” by NPR and Nashville’s Country Music Almanac in 2023. In this conversation, Derek and Brandon talk about growing up in Versailles Kentucky, writing music that reflects personal values, the importance of diversity not only among artists but behind the scenes in the music industry, and their mission to create music that helps people feel a sense of belonging.

Thank you Kentucky Gentlemen for providing music for this episode.
