Up The Empire

“He began the set with an instrumental in a dropped D tuning, bringing to mind what Nick Drake might have sounded like if he was raised in Tennessee. The guitar playing was warm, soft, and inviting, and the vocals were pleasantly gruff, low, and sung from deep down. Keith played his songs effortlessly, easing into his set, taking his time. The room was crowded, but Keith’s patience and easy tempo stole the show.” Read More at JezebelMusic.com

Doug Keith takes on Cartwheel Radio, WRSU at Rutgers, tonight at 6pm!  He’ll be giving a sneak peak of some (awesome) new songs, playing some of his older tunes and breathing heavily into the microphone for the one on one interview.

To stream WRSU fm live go to www.nj.com/wsru OR go to www.wrsu.org and click “listen”.

If you can’t listen from 6-7 tonight, don’t worry, Doug also recorded a session for Breathru Radio back in January with DJ Maia. You can check that show out anytime you want here.

And, if the radio just ain’t your bag and you’d like to see and hear Doug in person… come on down to Piano’s next Wednesday night (March 26th) for a show put on by Jezebel Music.  More details to follow.

Doug (and his shiny newly setup guitar) played a fantastic hour long set of both new and old material at last night’s solo show at The Living Room in NYC.  If you missed him last night, his next show is on January 29th at Piano’s upstairs where he’ll be playing with Clair. For those needing the Up The Empire fix, catch’em this Saturday in Hamden, CT at The Space… and if that’s still not soon enough, check out the live broadcast the band did on BreakThruRadio last week! (2 new songs!!)
