BIO

Brian Keith is an ACTOR and MUSICIAN. From a very young age, he has been entertaining in some way, shape or form!

As an actor, Brian worked his way up the ranks of low budget or no budget commercials, to nationally recognized television and film productions. Ever aspiring to take the "Next Step" in the film and television business, Brian decided many years ago to stay locally and continue doing what he loved on his terms! Since that decision, he has had the great fortune of working alongside Chris Cooper, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Kyle Petty to name a few. Brian has also done print, television, and commercial work for: Ruby Tuesday's, Sea Ray, Dollywood, HGTV Network, Oxygen Network, Mattel Toys and LOWES.

As a musician, drums and percussion are the primary instruments for Brian Keith. From The Coasters to the Platters, he has worked with some of Motown’s greatest performers. From a very youthful beginning, Brian has been playing the drums since the age of four. Growing up in Tennessee, he was able to appreciate the sounds of Country music through a family friend that was not only the drummer for Con Hunley, but Brian’s first inspiration into performing as a drummer.

"As far as what inspired me to become a drummer,…. I would have to say my childhood friend's father. In the seventies, he was the drummer for Con Hunley. At the time, Con was an up and coming country singer with national exposure. I would sit for hours and watch these guys practice in my friend's living room in amazement of the sounds that they were able to make with their instruments. I noticed everything! Plus, the neighborhood kids would play in Con's limo while he was inside practicing! Not a bad playhouse!”

While working with Contemporary Christian Artists NORTHCREEK, Brian has had the pleasure of playing festivals, clubs, cafes, churches and conferences all over the United States as well as sharing the stage with nationally known artists: The Newsboys, Superchic[k], Audio Adrenaline, Reliant K, and Rachael Lampa. Occassionally touring with NORTHCREEK, Brian now has more time to continue his work as an Instructor, sessions player and touring support musician.

A multi-instrumentalist, Mr. Keith's studio credits include Drums & Percussion, Guitar, Bass, and Backing Vocals.
