Kingston

If you haven't heard of the country duo Kingston, you need to head over to YouTube right now and check them out! They are one of my favorites right now (and probably will be forever)! Not only do they seem like two of the nicest, most down to earth guys from watching them interact with their fans on twitter, they both have amazing voices and when they harmonize its well.... Perfect!

What I love most about these two is that they can take any pop/rock/indie song, give it their own spin and make it sound like the song was meant to be country in the first place!
(Check out their cover of "What Makes You Beautiful" by One Direction below, its one of my personal favorites)




But they do more then just covers, the have original music too! 
I absolutely love Dear Someone! (watch it below)

I honestly spends hours listening/watching their covers on YouTube!

So who exactly is Kingston?

Zach and Josh Carter grew up in Hudson, Ohio. Since their mom worked in country radio, music was a big influence in their life from the start. After high school they moved to and originally recorded under the name the Carter Twins. In 2011 they changed their name to Kingston

Last year they auditioned for X Factor and made it into the top 64. 

Since then they have been busy making music, recording fun covers for their fans on YouTube. They both have such fun personalities they definitely comes across in their music. I adore them. Really. And I honestly can't wait to see what they have coming up next, I guarantee that Kingston is a name you won't want to forget!
