Meet Our Artists

Keith Broecker

Keith Broecker discovered a cheap souvenir guitar exiled to the back of his brother’s closet when he was 12. A curiosity boiled inside him as he plucked the strings for the first time. Eventually, that fascination developed into a hobby, and after experiencing the rush of a live performance at his local community college, Keith became passionate about creating music.

Keith was a U-2 pilot and flew many other aircraft during his time in the service. After living all over the United States as an Air Force officer, he retired and settled down in California with his family.  His song “Late November” is a high-energy journey that tours listeners with a fast paced acoustic guitar, full of intricate picking and layered with a skillful solo.

Filmed Live at the Throckmorton Theater, Mill Valley, CA on 27 April 2019. Adam Rossi (Keys), James Deprato (Mandolin), Tom Abbott (Guitar), Kevin White (Bass), Vicente Rodriguez (Drums), Dick Bright (Fiddle), Rob Raymond (Guitar); Sound Engineer (Edwin De Shazo)
