About Me |
|
| DONOVAN IS AN ORIGINAL SONGWRITER AND PERFORMING ARTIST OF INNOVATIVE GUITAR MUSIC. HIS MUSIC IS BOLD, DYNAMIC SOUND DERIVED FROM WORLD MUSIC, CLASSICAL, CELTIC, ASIAN, APPALACHIAN FOLK AND MIDDLE-EASTERN INFLUENCES. IT IS A SOUNDTRACK TO THE CELEBRATION OF LIFE, LOVE, IMAGINATION AND THE NATURAL WORLD.
Donovan Keith is a multi-media artist and independent performer of ambient guitar music. His music has been aired on WXDU Durham and 100.7 fm Raleigh for tracks: "THE INFERNO," "PERPETUA," and "PHOENIX RISING" for local songwriter shows. Inspired by an upraising with Middle-Eastern culture in Southern California and from his native Virginian influences of Appalachian folk music, much of his guitar music has the ambience of world music appeal, but drawing soul from the depths of the southern mountains. He continues a musical heritage originated by generations of family musicians from Maces Springs, Virginia and includes relatives, the Carter Family [A.P. Carter, June Carter Cash, etc.], whom his great grandfather practiced guitar with in the 1930’s & 40’s. Venturing to the Pacific Northwest, Donovan found his calling as a solo experimental guitarist in Eugene, Oregon while studying natural sciences and photography. He began making monthly booked performances and talent contests at local venues in Oregon until moving to the metropolis of Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, North Carolina to perform regionally in the southeast. He has traveled across the nation and performed at venues in several states, as well as songwriters events in North Carolina, and in Nashville, TN. Performing his second year at the Carrboro Music Festival, a video on YouTube is available to watch. While shopping for an independent label capable of promoting this music to a broader audience, he works as an independent artist managing his own enterprise and booking for festivals, songwriting events and private receptions. He will be releasing a CD this summer, featuring tracks: "ASLEEP WITH YOU IN MY ARMS," "THROUGH BURNING SANDS," "LO’IHI," "PHOENIX RISING," "DESOLATION PASS," "PERPETUA," "BUTTERFLY GARDEN," "PULSE," and "ABRAMS FALLS."
Thanks for your interest in the music and for your support of independent performing artists!
