After spending years as an actress/dancer/singer at the largest outdoor community theater in the country, The Theatre In The Park, Mackenzie stumbled upon bluegrass music. As a young adult she pursued a career in country music, gracing the stages in Branson, MO, and was even a top 200 contestant on American Idol! Mackenzie recently has had the opportunity to appear on two occasions as a guest singer with The Malpass Brothers, singing the old country music we all truly love!

“I must say, it’s all here. All cuts are good featuring vocals, picking, and writing from all members. As you journey through this album, you will experience a sampling of true mountain bluegrass, powerful gospel music, age old stories of broken hearts, revenge, trains and hobos, all delivering in the family tradition. I truly hope you enjoy this album as much as I will enjoy playing it on the airwaves!”
