Karma County is an Australian music group who formed in 1995. They consist of drummer Stuart Eadie, who also creates and co-ordinates the band's visual imagery (album sleeves, T-shirts, web design, adverts), singer/songwriter/guitarist Brendan Gallagher, who also produces the music, and bassist Michael Galeazzi.

In early 1999 the band signed a deal with Melody Management and Universal publishing. In the same year, their third album "Into The Land Of Promise" was released on license through Warner Music. This album yielded two singles "Secret Country" (featuring Jimmy Little) and "The Men Who Ran Away From The Circus". Both singles gained airplay on Triple J and other ABC radio stations nationally.

"Into The Land Of Promise" took out the Year 2000 ARIA Award for Best Adult Contemporary Album, making it two in a row for Brendan Gallagher who produced the 1999 winner, Jimmy Little's Messenger.

Karma County toured from Cairns to Albany and beyond before going on a seven-week tour of Europe, UK and North America in July 2000. Tour highlights included performances at WOMAD festivals in Hanover, Reading and Seattle, opening the Australian Film Festival in Rome and guesting with Jimmy Little at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London.
