The Karg Boys are a harmony driven duo with country roots, an uncanny aptitude for songwriting, and a live show with a beat so explosive, it can turn any dance floor into a youthful cadence.
The brothers began writing, singing, and performing together in 2002 and their act has taken them to all corners of the country including the 20th Annual South by Southwest Music and Media Conference in Austin, Texas, Star of Texas State Fair and Rodeo, and the 2004 National Association of Recording Merchandisers (NARM) Convention in San Diego, California where they received the "Class Act" award and opened for They Might Be Giants. They are scheduled to play on National Public Radio’s “A Prairie Home Companion” with Garrison Keillor on April 21st, 2007, 6-8pm Eastern time. They opened up for Steve Holy at the 2004 Mullet Fest in Emerald Isle, NC, and have performed at the festival the following 3 years and have also been performing in surrounding areas Jacksonville, Morehead City, and Wilmington, NC. Most recently the duo played at the 2007 Emerald Isle St. Patrick’s Day Festival.
The eldest of the duo, Richard Patrick Karg, Jr. was born on February 8, 1981 in Ashland, Ohio. Two years later, Richard and his family moved to Nashville, TN to pursue his father's dream of songwriting. Andrew Paul Karg was born on December 11, 1983 and has been equally, if not more exposed to music than his brother, having performed in shows at Opryland Theme Park and local Nashville Theatre since age 12.
In 2005, the Karg Boys signed an exclusive, worldwide publishing/artist development deal with Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG) Nashville, and are currently preparing for a record label showcase in April 2007.
Since signing with UMPG, Rich and Andy have had the opportunity to collaborate with some of Nashville’s top songwriters and producers including, Rivers Rutherford ("Real Good Man"), Don Schlitz ("The Gambler"), Byron Hill ("Nothin On But the Radio"), Jess Leary ("Where the Green Grass Grows"), Kostas ("Ain't That Lonely Yet"), Phil Everly ("When Will I Be Loved?"), Big Al Anderson ("Unbelievable"), and Paul Kennerly ("Young Love Strong Love").
Of course, the Karg Boys are also amazing songwriters and performers themselves. They have been influenced by other duos such as the Everly Brothers and Simon and Garfunkel, as well as hit groups and artists like Dwight Yoakam, the Mavericks, the Beatles and Coldplay. The guys credit their father, Dick Karg, as being influential on their songwriting and would like to thank everyone at Universal Music Publishing and all friends and fans for their support.
