With charisma as warm as the Kentucky sun, The Kentucky Gentlemen are not just making their mark on the country music scene - they are redefining it. The dynamic twin brother country music duo have been captivating audiences with a sound that is a reflection of their roots - the country sounds they grew up with and the modern R&B and pop influences they've absorbed over the years.
In both music and life, Brandon and Derek Campbell have been nearly inseparable since birth. These brothers from Versailles, Ky., got their first public singing experience in a church choir.
Songs filled with poignant lyrics that speak to the heart with melodies that linger long after the last note has been played.

The duo is also a part of the 2023-2024 Academy of Country Music “Future Leaders of The Music Industry” OnRamp Program. The boundary breaking duo has spent the year both touring and writing. Recently releasing an Apple Music Session with Fancy Hagood, that included TJ Osborne (Brother’s Osborne). Past singles, Vibin’ and Whatever You’re Up For have topped CMT’s music video Countdowns. The Kentucky Gentlemen are a testament to the enduring power of music, a remarkable reminder of the ties that bind us, and a tribute to the timeless appeal of the country music genre.
