Douglas Keith Premieres 'Harvest Home' and Prepares for February LP Release

Douglas Keith - even if you don't know where you saw or heard him, you know that you have. Keith has been involved in the music industry for quite some time.

He first started touring and creating music with the punk band from San Francisco, The Gods Hate Kansas.

This was the start to Keith's lifelong love for performing and creating music. When the band broke up, Keith moved onto his solo career, releasing his debut album 'Here's To Outliving Me'.

The album was a favorite of listeners of XM Radio and NPR.

Keith has influences from rock and roll storytellers from all decades: Bob Dylan, The Band, Tom Petty, The National. He has signature vocals that are recognizable to music listeners all around. Keith then met Sharon Van Etten, a singer and songwriter he decided he wanted to collaborate and tour with.

The duo toured all around with bands including The National and The War on Drugs. Keith wrote while on the road and recorded some tunes at Echo Mountain Studios in Asheville, North Carolina.

After gathering some more talented musicians for the project, Keith stated "things just clicked immediately. It was one of the most fun weeks I've ever known."

Keith has caught the attention of many well renowned publications around the world, including NPR, USA Today and Spin. "Keith is a modern-day troubadour.

He sings of the usual topics: women, heartbreak, death and longing.

But thanks to a welcome trace of roughness in his voice, he comes off as a well-gathered and sage source of advice and storytelling", NPR raved of Keith's work.

Spin continued to praise Keith by stating his music is "a cinematic slow-burner that boasts two very distinct halves: the first layers strings and piano over a moody electronic pulse, the second erupts into a typically brilliant guitar solo from Dinosaur Jr's J Mascis."

Keith has plans to release his latest LP, 'Pony', come early February. "A pony will work, nonstop, until it physically cannot work anymore", Keith stated about the title of his upcoming release.

"I'm like that. It's a pretty personal, intense record, without being just me and an acoustic guitar. I wanted it to have feeling, a backbone." On the 11th of February, be sure to lookout for 'Pony' on The Village Label.
