New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Grant & Forsyth are one of the most successful husband and wife singing duo�s in Europe having sold over 4 million albums, their brand of country music has been entertaining fans the world over. 2016 sees them celebrate 30 years as a country duo!

Nobody is more surprised than them to have a record out at this stage of their lives, as they are set to once again make a stir on the British country music scene (which has exploded in popularity in recent years) with the release of their single �Keep It Country� with an album following a week later.

After receiving a call out of the blue from Nashville songwriting legend Don Mescall, Grant & Forsyth found themselves agreeing to come out of semi-retirement (as Dominic Grant has also become a successful sculptor!) to record a song Don had written especially with them in mind. Don explained they were the only artists that could do the song justice & it just so happened that they absolutely loved the track! The single was mixed in Nashville by Bobby Terry, who was recently involved with the Willie Nelson / Merle Haggard Album. In a twist of fate the day they went to record the single they found out that Merle Haggard had passed away. He had written their very first Country hit 'Somewhere Between' so as a mark of respect they mentioned him fondly in the song.

Dominic Grant & Julie Forsyth have had a truly amazing musical journey, which has created some fond memories for them. From the very beginnings when they first met in 1974 after replying to a an advert in the NME for a girl / boy group which went on to become the hit group Guys �N� Dolls to their reincarnation as a singing country duo to the birth of their two children who became touring babies accompanying them on the road from just two weeks old! Some of the magical musical dust must have been sprinkled onto their daughter Sophie and son Luke as both have become musicians in their own right, in fact daughter Sophie is singing backing vocals on �Keep It Country� and working on her 1st album and Luke has been a rock singer since the age of 14 & supported Iron Maiden on their European tour a couple of years back. Luke has also written a song on the album �How Can I Wait� which features his grandfather and Julie�s father Bruce Forsyth on piano.

Julie and Dominic have supported Frank Sinatra, hung out backstage with Johnny Cash who said to them �Thank you for spreading Country music to these parts of the world, keep doing what your doing�. Praise indeed and there are many more stories of this kind told by the duo in such a lovely nonchalant way.

Grant and Forsyth were once told �Country will never work in the UK�, well here they still are ready to rock the country scene once more with their top tapping, hip swinging feel good country hit � Keep It Country!

To accompany the single they have put together a wealth of well-known classic Country songs to form a 20 track album, which will be released on the 21st October 2016.
