He began studying banjo as a teenager taking lessons with Tony Trishcka on the east coast and later relocated to the bay area where he joined Heartland alongside members Allison Brown, Rob Ickes and Jim Nunally. In 1991 Keith moved to the Midwest and began touring with Greg Cahill and the Special Consensus. Adding tenor banjo to his skill set, he began performing in traditional jazz groups and has worked with some of the area’s top players including members of the Original Salty Dogs.
