Whether they are performing I Made it by Grace, The Shepherds Point of View, When He Speaks, or one of their classics like Right On Time, Ive Won, or their signature song, God on the Mountain there is an undeniable energy that carries them through each performance.
The McKameys play about 145 days a year, traveling throughout North America. To date, they have had 30 number one songs. The group has been awarded several different Singing News Fan Awards through the years with Peg being named Favorite Female Vocalist 7 times.
