Forrest McDonald’s fiery guitar licks showcase his vast experience in blues-based rock ‘n’ roll and R&B. Kaylon McDonald blues-drenched vocals soar above, around, and through each tune building to a choke-hold that won’t loosen its grip until you jump up and boogie!
Kaylon McDonald started singing & playing the guitar when she was 10 years old. She won the Atlanta Female Entertainer of the year award in 1991. Her vocals are distinctly unique with hints of Bonnie Raitt and Patsy Cline. Their new CD titled "Certified Blues" will be released by World Talent Records on April 1, 2010.
