More information about the show and tickets can be found on the AICHO website. More information about Keith and his music can be found on his website.
After talking about the various different musical keys that exist in the natural world, Keith answered our three Back Tracks questions. His first album was an odd one from a famous band. His first live concert experience was of a musician that Keith didn't have any particular affinity for, but the visit to the DECC in Duluth was still an impactful one. And Keith's guilty pleasure song was difficult to lock down. He eventually landed on "Yakubyou No Kami" by Suzuki Tsunekichi, though he admits that he keeps an ear tuned in to the modern. "All these songs kind of stick with me, but I'm real contemporary."
You can hear Back Tracks every Friday at 8am on Northland Morning.
