Life Cafe Coffeehouse |
|
|
|
Come enjoy your favorite coffee beverage and some home-baked goodies! NC musician Keith Howard will present a special guest set. He's a wonderful guitarist and singer/songwriter I met a couple of years ago while playing in the Raleigh area. "Keith Howard's style is reminiscent of the driving rock-roll of 60’s pop. He was brought up on the Beatles and CSN&Y, and cut his teeth on the Kinks, the Byrds, and King Crimson. Keith says some of his songs are serious, some are for fun, and some are subliminal. If you’ve ever been run over by a jumbo 12-string guitar in the NC Triangle, there's a good chance it was Keith’s." You can find out more about Keith at www.soundclick.com/bands/1/thegreatuntitledtour.htm or at www.ncsongwriters.org/artists/howard |
