Whether it's writing a film score for the Independent Spirit Award nominated "Quiet City" or orchestrating all genres into one truly effective work on his new record "Islands", Keegan DeWitt offers something truly unique to the musical landscape. His textured voice speaks to the folk-like immediacy of the work, but the classic structure of the material shows a deep love for artists as timeless as Sam Cooke, The Faces or Brian Wilson. Almost inseparable from the material (all of which he composes and arranges), Keegan represents an artist from an earlier time... when Bacharach slaved in the Brill Building and Brian Wilson sat over his mixing board for days at end. In a town where so much value is placed on "the song" and "the pitch"... Keegan is someone you'll want to see for yourself, in person, with the strings filling out the room, the piano hammers jumping and the human heart fully present.
