Doug Keith is a multi-instrumentalist singer songwriter. Formerly bass player with the punk band The Gods Hate Kansas, following their break up he moved back to his native New York from San Francisco and swapped musical directions to a softer, more acoustic direction.

Growing up outside Minneapolis, Minnesota and Syracuse, New York, he was drawn to music early in life. He began playing guitar at the age of 10, developing his chops by having his guitar teacher show him how to play his favorite Replacements, Husker Du and Camper Van Beethoven songs. His teacher further stoked Keith’s musical passion by introducing him to the work of Jimi Hendrix. He began writing songs and formed his first band while in high school, playing chaotic sets in local venues.

Doug Keith has released two solo albums, Here's to Outliving Me and The Lucky Ones and has also played with the band Up The Empire. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
