Kerosene Drifters impressed me from the first time I heard their music. Great vocals, strong musicianship and hook-filled songs make this duo worthy of your time.”

You both were AWESOME! The emotion, the passion, the energy, THE FUN! (The show) WAS FANTASTIC!”

— Phinesse Demps / Owner & Publisher of Indie Soul Magazine

Kerosene Drifters are an American folk-rock band with something of a Celtic feel to their music – Redemption is their latest release. 

Redemption is one of my favourite songs of the year so far – I loved the folk-punk feel of the track and the driving rhythm is fantastic. The lyrics have a storytelling feel to them (which suits the genre of music very well) and I loved the Celtic aspects. It’s quite rare to hear this style of music nowadays, so it makes a very welcome change to me! Check out Redemption below – hopefully you’ll love it as much as I did!

Bio

Introducing Kerosene Drifters, the dynamic roots rock ensemble fueled by the creative synergy of husband-and-wife duo Korey and Dana. With two acclaimed albums under their belt and a highly anticipated third on the horizon, this musical partnership is a testament to love, passion, and the timeless allure of Americana.

At the heart of their sound lies a rich tapestry of influences, weaving together elements of folk, blues, and classic rock into a seamless sonic experience. But what truly sets Kerosene Drifters apart is their unmistakable chemistry and penchant for big harmonies that soar through the air, captivating audiences wherever they roam.

Adding depth and groove to their lineup is their talented female bass player, whose pulsating rhythms provide the foundation for their infectious melodies. Together, they craft songs that resonate with authenticity and soul, drawing listeners into narratives of love, loss, and the journey of life.

From intimate cafes to majestic theaters, Kerosene Drifters have graced stages far and wide, their music serving as a soundtrack to the wanderlust spirit that drives them forward. With each performance, they invite audiences to join them on a musical odyssey, where every chord strummed and lyric sung is a testament to the power of connection and shared experience.

As they gear up for the release of their third album, Kerosene Drifters shows no signs of slowing down. With a passion for storytelling and a dedication to their craft, they continue to carve out their place in the ever-evolving landscape of roots rock, leaving an indelible mark on all who have the pleasure of listening.

Kerosene Drifters have shared the stage with Reckless Kelly and Micky & the Motorcars, along with national airplay on REELZ channel for their music video “Barb’s Wired”.  They won Six Springs Original Song Competition in June 2022 and runner-up in the national competition Dream Night Talent Search for their live duo performance.  The couple have made numerous television and radio appearances, along with physical and online interviews.  When they’re not traveling doing what they love, they are home hanging with their family and animals, cooking, enjoy being in nature, supporting fellow musicians and drinking good tequila.

The Gun Announced Go, the sophomore album for KD, utilizes a dense mix of acoustic and electric guitars, piano, organ, cello, bass, drums and large harmonies, creating everything from a monumental wall of sound to spacious and eerie ballads. Having two lead vocalists allows for a wide range of sonic possibilities that make up the unique sound of Kerosene Drifters. Joined by co-producer and Nashville recording artist J.R. Castillo, Kerosene Drifters collaborated for album #2 in songwriting with Lee Wenner and in the studio with cellist Jen Mulhern of Jenuine Cello at Cibolo Studios in San Antonio, TX. Stuart Sullivan of Wire Recording (Sublime, Jimmie Vaughan, Butthole Surfers) worked his mixing magic and Terra Nova Mastering finished up the project.
