A New Country Anthem: “Keep On Kickin” by Hendry & Serrao

Post Summary: Country artists Jamie Hendry and Justin Serrao have dropped their new collaboration "Keep On Kickin," a song about friendship and questionable advice. After years of talking about working together, Justin surprised Jamie with a last-minute studio booking, leading to an impromptu flight and a full day of recording that resulted in their anthem. The track is now available on all major streaming platforms.

Good news Ladies and Gentlemen, a new country anthem entitled “Keep on Kickin” has just dropped. Over the years, Jamie Hendry and Justin Serrao have built a great friendship fueled by shared interests and a mutual love for all things country.

While the idea of writing a song together had come up many times, busy schedules always got in the way – until one afternoon when Justin casually phoned to announce he had booked a full-day studio session at Sunset Studios in Stellenbosch for the following morning, located around 1,300 kilometers away.

Following last-minute flight plans and some serious hustle, Jamie flew down to Cape Town, met Justin at the studio, and by the end of the day, their new collaboration “Keep On Kickin” was born.

A Story of Friendship and Bad Advice

“Keep On Kickin” tells the story of two friends: one who appears to be searching for love in all the wrong places, and the other who is always there to offer support, buy another drink, and provide some fairly average advice.
