Keith had the privilege of sharing the stage with some amazing speakers at Catalyst2013 where he spoke on ‘Improvising Creativity’.  800 people at a sold-out event with speakers like Corey Booker, John Acuff, Nancy Duarte and others.

I just finished a couple successful tours in Europe with Curtis Stigers.  We traveled to Switzerland, The Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg, Paris, and Denmark.  We have been touring to support his new CD, “Let’s Go Out Tonight.”  We met some wonderful people, ate and drank some tasty treats and had lots of fun making music!

The KHDCX was a great success for everyone on November 10.

The Drum Choir Xperience is a unique one-day experience with a focus on playing in a drum set ensemble.
