Doug Keith

Anyone who knows me knows that one of my absolute favorite records that came out in 2011 is Little Scream’s album The Golden Record (in fact, I am listening to it while I type this). So it is with the absolute utmost pleasure that I tell you that I am going to be playing a few shows with them at the end of November on the east coast! I’ll be playing solo. It’s gonna rule.

We’re hitting Washington, DC, Philadelphia, PA and Brooklyn NY. All dates and info are below and on my tour page. See you out there!

Hi all,

I’ve been keeping (super) busy playing bass for Sharon Van Etten. We’ve been touring like crazy behind her absolutely flawless record epic and will keep doing so straight through 2011. You can see all dates HERE. Ben Lord (who played drums on my record and tours with me regularly) is also in the band. It’s a sweet family we’ve created. We did an awesome US tour with Junip in November, a short run in the US with Julianna Barwick, we’re heading to Europe with The National in February and then doing a full US tour (including SXSW) with Little Scream. I can highly recommend you pick up every record by all of these people. Awesome people making awesome music. You gotta love it.
I’ll be recording a new record of my own this year (I’ve been demoing like crazy) and will play some shows of my own as well this summer. Check back for updates and such. In the meantime, come see Sharon Van Etten (trust me, she is absolutely amazing) and say hi. Would love to see you.

Be well,
-Doug

I’m doing a couple of solo shows to finish out 2010. This Thursday, September 30th, I’ll be playing my first show in Kansas City in over 5 years. I can’t believe it has been that long since I’ve been back. The show is at The Uptown Theater with Jimmy Wayne. I’m doing a very short set at about 8 pm. The show is a private event so I can’t help with tickets and this was a last minute booking so none of the clubs were available to do a public show. If anyone knows of anything for Friday, October 1st, let me know, would love to play!

The other solo shows are a quick tour through Vermont in late October. I’m playing Montpelier, Middlebury & Burlington. After that I’m off on tour as part of Sharon Van Etten’s band for all of November (we’re opening 20 shows for Junip) and then working on a new record in December & January.

Keep in touch!

I’m hitting the road with the band for a full week in October! It’s been a while since I’ve been on the road with the band and I couldn’t be more excited about it. Come check us a out if we’re playing your town. All dates below and on the tours page!

Happy fall! Good stuff all around over here at base camp.

I’ve recently started playing bass in Sharon Van Etten’s band! If you haven’t heard Sharon yet, I strongly suggest you check her out. She’s a truly amazing person that writes incredibly beautiful songs. We’re heading out on tour starting on September 8th! You can see all of her dates on her website and her Myspace page.

Come check us out and say hi!

Here’s a video of me playing Elizabeth Cotten’s song, “Oh Babe, It Ain’t No Lie”, on tour in February, 2010.

I’m just back from the New England shows which were a lot of fun. Ben Lord came with me and played drums and we had a blast. Thanks to all that came out.
I’m excited to announce that on July 13th, The Village Label will be reissuing a remixed/remastered version of my first solo record, “Here’s to Outliving Me”! It’ll be available everywhere on the 13th.
To celebrate, I’m going to play a bunch of shows in July! I’m hitting the  road July 14th and playing shows until the 31st, playing a lot of the towns I hit in June (Pittsburgh, Columbus, Chicago, Champaign, etc). I’ll see you on the road!
