In this episode, we sit down with the incredibly talented twin brothers, the Kentucky Gentlemen. Hailing from Versailles, Kentucky, the duo discusses their latest album, Rhinestone Revolution. The project’s name is a powerful metaphor for their journey, representing the choice to shine brightly and be your authentic self despite life’s obstacles. The brothers delve into their unique blend of country, R&B, and hip-hop, which they attribute to their upbringing in a musically diverse household and their move to Nashville as teenagers.
