â¨From the combination of ambition, talent and raw energy is born something creative and truly unique. In an age when sex sells and musical quality is negotiable, it is the goal of this Oklahoma-based band to fill a certain void within the souls of listeners who have a desire to experience and to respond to good art.
â¨â¨Blending the sounds of such names as Maroon 5, Lenny Kravitz and Ben Folds, keithdanieltrio is one of Oklahoma Cityâs most sought-after groups of performing musicians. Some of OKCâs best live music venues continue to come alive at night with those who religiously attend show after show to see the bandâs next innovative idea or musical concept.
â¨â¨Led by the bandâs namesake, pianist and vocalist Keith Daniel constantly draws upon the digital pianoâs vast array of sounds to tonally convey changes in mood. This keyboard wizardry is what sets the bandâs sound apart from cliché, guitar-dominated ensembles. Enhanced by the technical grooves of bassist Sam Kratchmer, the driving backbeats of drummer Joe Rush, the skillful playing of saxophonist Jim Riley and the soulful riffs of guitarist Dimetrius Lavalais, the chemistry of member talent and influence coalesces to form the bandâs undisputedly original sound.
â¨â¨Since August of 2005, the bandâs popularity has increased exponentially. Having been featured on 98.9 FMâs The Jack and Ron show, on a television appearance for FOX 25âs The Locker Room, on an online podcast on upbeatradio.com and in a Q&A review with The Daily Oklahoman, keithdanieltrio is steadily working its way into all forms of media exposure. Additionally, fans who frequent the shows say they continue to return because âWe never know what weâll hear next.â
The band's debut independent album, Honorable Mention, was released in early 2007. It is the musical representation of a conglomerate of life experiences and struggles with self-identity and makes an attempt to relate a sense of emotional familiarity with its listeners. The tracks capture the pristine sound of the band while maintaining the energy of its live performances.
â¨â¨The sounds of keithdanieltrio are ideally meant for those with an open mind; receptive to the quality present in all forms of music. However, whether or not you consider yourself a music aficionado, one thing is certain: it is difficult to leave a keithdanieltrio performance without being a fan.
