Tour name: Arctic Circle presents

Keith Kenniff was raised in rural Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Keith started playing drums, guitar and bass at a very young age. He played in a variety of touring bands, from rock to jazz and classical, and took influence from each situation, learning from the successes and inevitable failures, discovering his musical likes and dislikes. He was finally drawn to study percussion at Boston’s prestigious Berklee College of Music.

His primary musical venture is the solo project ‘Helios’, showcasing his skill in percussion, his delicate touch on the guitar, his measured and spacious songwriting, and his self-taught electro-acoustic production.

Another of Keith’s projects is, ‘Goldmund’, which saw the light of day with the release of ‘Corduroy Road’, a selection of solo piano recordings released on the young British label ‘Type Records’. This album was also well received internationally, and some of its tracks have been used in films and major television series.

Hear one set as Helios and another solo piano as Goldmund on this special evening.
