About the Artist
Multi-Platinum & Gold ARIA-certified, ARIA-nominated, and 4x Golden Guitar-nominated, KINGSWOOD join forces with the acclaimed songstress, SARAH GRACE BUCKLEY. Sarah, the primary songwriter and frontwoman for The Buckleys, has delivered a #1 Australian country radio hit and Rolling Stone has called her writing ‘a masterclass in songwriting.’ The single, "Boots and Pistols," combines these two dynamic creative forces into one beautifully crafted song.
Alexander Laska discusses how the single came about, “In one of those beautiful twists of fate, The Buckleys and Kingswood fortuitously crossed paths in a time where new beginnings and outlooks were significant to us both. Not to say that isn’t always the case, but certainly where one directs their gaze and places priority has its seasons. Sarah and I found ourselves woven in an immediately connected friendship by a love of song-writing, of invention, of catastrophe and repair, of everything that makes you dream big and yet enjoy the simple humanities we are afforded in life. Quickly it was apparent that we were to isolate in a studio together and in those days, countless songs were created. In the midst of the chaos, this beautiful little song revealed itself and we were both immediately hooked. Serendipitously, it was fate again that brought us together at exactly the right time to commit it to record and prepare it for what is now ready for the world.”
As Sarah reiterates, “The Kingswood boys are like my guardian angel big brothers - they seem to always swoop into my life exactly when I need them. We recorded the vocals for this song in the Kingswood tour bus on the way home from the Tamworth Country Festival. It was about 2am in the morning, parked outside a McDonald’s in the middle of nowhere. Channelling the heartbreak of the song, a week of gigs, no sleep and a fair amount of whisky consumed over the festival apparently was the perfect cocktail as it’s my favourite vocal I’ve ever recorded”.
KINGSWOOD hit #1 on the ARIA Australian Country chart with their new album, Midnight Mavericks. The release included the hits Highway Signs, Faith and Lovin A Girl. Completing their own headline Australian tour, they will also be sharing the stage with Kip Moore on his upcoming AU/NZ tour.
Meanwhile. SARAH GRACE BUCKLEY, released her solo debut single, Tequila & Mexico; which impacted #12 on the National Country Airplay chart. Having just performed the National Anthem at the Australia v New Zealand women’s T20, Sarah will be performing at Tamworth Country Music Festival, CMC Rocks and Meatstock in the first quarter of 2027.
