RISING COUNTRY TALENT, KEITH PEREIRA, RELEASES “DRINKIN’ BUDDIES” AND ANNOUNCES SHOW AT JOLENE BAR WITH ROSIE TEESE AND THE WESTERN GUIDE
Keith Pereira’s star continues to burn bright, with the Country Music rising star showing once again that he certainly is one to watch.
His new single, “Drinkin’ Buddies”, is a high-energy, honky-tonk anthem with influences rooted deep in 90’s country.
“I grew up listening to the best of 90s country music”, says Pereira. “I loved the high energy, the incredible guitarists, the fun associated with listening to these honky tonk songs and of course the incredible voices of my country music heroes”.
For the release, Pereira boarded a flight to Queensland to work with one of Australia’s hottest country producers, Jared Adlam. The track also features steel legend, Travis Toy best known for his work with US heavyweights Alan Jacksonand Luke Combs.
“I waited a while to find the right producer to bring this song to life, and boy did Jared Adlam do just that! Honestly, I had the best time cutting this record and having Travis Toy, one of my favourite musicians growing up, play on the track - was truly the cherry on top!
