He was a member of the Boston-based band, Central Basement, which earned the title of Kiss 108’s house band. Central Basement made it onto Billy Costa’s Top 30 Countdown with their original song, “Turn.” Keith has also performed with several well-known artists including Kid Rock, Uncle Kracker and Avril Lavigne.

He has also recorded numerous songs and albums with multi-platinum record producers including John Ryan (Styx and Vince Gill). He has teamed up with Mia Boostrom (America’s Got Talent) and Josh Logan (NBC’s The Voice and Rockstar Super Nova) to write, produce, record, and perform. He worked with multi-platinum record producer Anthony Resta (Elton John, Duran Duran, Collective Soul, Twilight Soundtracks) to write and record Josh Logan’s latest EP, titled “Good Times.” Keith still performs locally with bands including Jimmy’s Down, Three Way, and Craving Lucy. In 2013, he joined The Josh Logan Band, which gives him the opportunity to perform across the globe.
Alright, enough about me in the third person! I’ve been teaching guitar, bass, upright bass, and music theory for over 20 years. My teaching experience has taught me the importance of treating each student as an individual and modifying my teaching style based on a student’s needs and capabilities. I believe that if a student can’t learn in the way a teacher teaches, then the teacher must teach in a way the student can learn. I’ve worked extremely hard practicing to achieve a high level of skill playing and performing, but the primary reason I began playing, performing, and teaching music is that it is so much FUN. I have been beyond fortunate to be able to transform my passion into a career, and I hope to use my knowledge and experience to help and teach others.
