    Artist History
    Keith wrote his first song about 10 years ago. At the time he could not even play an instrument. He fooled around with a harmonica as a kid, so he went out and bought one. Thinking it would help with his song writing, he promptly started obsessing on the harp. After playing 6 months he went on stage for the first time. From that day forward he played whenever and wherever he could. About 8 years ago someone handed him a fretless bass at a jam session. Being left handed he turned it upside down and started jamming to a blues tune the guys were playing. Within a week he had his first guitar. His teacher was a guy that lived on the streets. He did not own a guitar so Keith kept his guitar strung right handed so his teacher could show him riffs. Playing guitar caused Keiths songwriting to blossom. At 48 years old hes quoted as saying " When I grow up I want to be a rock star, but Im not sure its worth growing up for ". Keith currently has 2 cds out. " BRIDGE OVER THE MOON " a cd of 10 personnel works. Keith also recorded a Christmas album of classics played on the harmonica entitled"A HARMONICA CHRISTMAS". No matter what happens with his music, he says " Recording these cds is a dream come true ".
