Doug Keith, Thursday, June 24, 9:00 pm – 12:00 am

Doug Keith weaves truths into understatedly eloquent songs, which he delivers with a weathered, expressive voice, nimble, blues-rooted guitar work and organically layered arrangements that effortlessly convey the emotional immediacy of his compositions.  The material on his critically acclaimed second solo album, The Lucky Ones, ranges from the acoustic starkness of “We Left Everything” to the surging electricity of “The Lucky Ones” to the buoyant textures of “Skip James Radio”; the common threads are the warmth and insight that the artist brings to every track. A consummate road warrior, Keith spends most of his time on the road, both solo and with his band in tow. For the summer of 2010, Keith is touring completely solo, playing stripped down versions of the songs on his records. In 2009, Keith co-founded The Village Label with NASCAR champ Jimmie Johnson and his wife Chandra to release his own records (including The Lucky Ones) as well as the work of others in an artist friendly environment.
