Mountain Fever Records is pleased to announce the addition of International artist, Kristy Cox, to their roster of top-performing musicians and singers. The Australian-born singer/songwriter will release brand new music this fall.
From a young age, Kristy Cox captured plenty of attention with her distinct singing style and positive nature, resulting in opportunities to open shows for major acts and making regular festival and television appearances across Australia, Europe, and the US. In 2015 she was selected as an official showcase artist for the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) where she began drawing the attention of music industry professionals. With a string of #1 hits on radio and country music television in Australia, Kristy has also made headway on the US bluegrass charts in recent years. Her last two projects, produced by Grammy® winner Jerry Salley, were very well received, with the latest making strong appearances throughout 2016 on multiple album and songs charts. 2017 kicked into high gear when she won “Bluegrass Recording of the Year” from the Country Music Association of Australia, and she has also made the IBMA Awards second ballot in several categories, showing promise of a final nomination for this year.
For her new project on Mountain Fever, Kristy has once again teamed up with producer and songwriter Jerry Salley, and the two have already begun working on her new project for Mountain Fever Records with an expected first single to radio this fall. Of the Cox/Salley music partnership, David Morris of Bluegrass Today writes, “This is one of those special pairings that cries out to be preserved.” And preserved it is, thanks to Mountain Fever Records CEO Mark Hodges. “We’re ecstatic to be working with Kristy and Jerry,” says Mark. “Of course, Jerry’s reputation as an incredibly successful songwriter and producer precedes him, so when he brought Kristy to our attention, signing her seemed to fall into the ‘no-brainer’ category fairly quickly. Her vocals are strong and her talent is unwavering. We’ve heard some of the preliminary music they are working on and expect the bluegrass community will accept it with open arms. It’s pretty fantastic stuff!”
Of her new relationship with Mountain Fever, Kristy states, “I am extremely excited to join the Mountain Fever family. I am blessed to be in such great company with all of the fellow artists on the roster. I know I am in great hands with Mark and the team and really looking forward to working on this new project with both Mountain Fever and my label family in Australia. Bring on 2018!”
