(Somewhat) CURRENT NEWS:
At the Tumbleweed Music Festival (Labor Day weekend, Richland, WA) in 2018 Dan Maher invited me to be a guest on his TV show "JAM WITH DAN" We recorded the show at the studio in the Edward R. Murrow Center at Washington State University in late September 2018, it was aired in the Moscow-Pullman area April 2019,
and is now available for viewing on the internet.
Simply do a google search for "Jam with Dan" and the location should come up on the Northwest Public Broadcasting/NPR/PBS website. Look for episode 14. We cover a lot of musical territory in the one hour show and there's something for everyone so check it out.................... And thanks again, Dan, for inviting me on the show!
Either solo or with any number of groups, Brad Keeler has performed at countless other venues and events in PWN locales from Tacoma and Orcas Island to Republic, WA and Troy, Montana since the year 2000. His multi-instrumentalist artistry (flatpick & fingerpick guitar slide guitar, mandolin, banjo, harmonica, violin, piano, bass, washboard and more) can be heard on the numerous self-produced recordings he has released since 1997, as well as, group recordings by "Wide River" and "Keeler, Melvin and Morse."
You can also find Brad Keeler solo or with the trio on youtube (simply write brad keeler Spokane music in the youtube search box) and audio and video samples can be seen and heard at www.reverbnation.com/bradkeeler.
If you like your roots music played acoustic, you've come to the right place!

HELLO 2019
Things are off to an early start for 2019...............................
Brad Keeler and Linda Parman have already
scheduled ten Spokane County Library District
shows between February and May. The new program
is "The Great Folk Scare: The American Folk Music
Revival, 1958-1965" This is our fifth historical-
musical program for the SCLD since 2014. This time
around we will be exploring the folk music revival which
gained momentum in those years with the release of
the 19th century song "Tom Dooley" by the Kingston Trio in
1958 (three million copies sold) and the creation of the Newport Folk Festival (1959- this year is the 60th anniversary!). The one hour SCLD mini-concerts are free and family friendly. Linda and I will be performing on numerous instruments including acoustic guitars, National Reso-phonic guitar, mandolin, banjos, autoharp, Appalachian mountain dulcimer, harmonica and
washboard.
Also: As of January, February and March, 2019, I am recording and mixing my latest CD album. This will be my 13th solo album and my third of all original material. Hope to have this available for the summer music season. The title of this project is yet to be decided on, but the arrangements etc reflect various musical influences that have inspired me since I first heard and absorbed music as a young person. Overdub tracks include me playing electric guitar, electric lap steel guitar, electric bottleneck slide guitar, electric bass, standup bass, piano, organ, percussion, and washboard The songs include a couple I wrote in 2006, one I started writing in the mid-1990s (they have been waiting for the "right" project to come along to get recorded), while most were written in the past three or four years. Most of these I've been performing on and off at live shows.
