Keith Landry
BIOGRAPHY
Keith didn't pick up a guitar until he was twenty years old and his little sister taught him how to play "Hammer and a Nail" and "The Boxer." He never really took music seriously until he had kids, at which point Keith realized that he had a lot that he needed to say to them... The end result was the very sweet album "Reminder of Winter in April," a not-for-public-consumption collection of songs that he hopes will mean more and more to his little girls every day.
In the following years, he churned out follow up albums "The Trail" after a trip out to Rocky Mountain National Park and "Where I May Have Been," a delving into the stories of people he's known and places, well, that he may have been. While preparing to start recording on his next album, "Late December," that same little sister turned him on to the RPM Challenge.
Keith's fourth album, "Keeping Constant Motion," was written in January and February of 2010 and recorded (along with everyone else completing the challenge) entirely in the month of February............
Not realizing just how unmotivated he would be from March to December of 2010, Keith needed the commitment of the RPM Challenge to finally get around to recording "Late December," a playlist that by 2011 has changed and grown into the twelve-song album you will find here today. Now currently addicted to the recording process and always looking to grow musically, this folk musician and his Seagull Mini Jumbo acoustic guitar continues to write about everyone he meets and everywhere he's been... If you know him, odds are he's written a song about you already..............
Fast forward to 2012: Keith took a good long look at his limited production skills and decided to strip it all down to the basics. The result: This year's RPM effort "Letters." One guitar, one voice, one mic, all live. Are there missed notes? Yes. Does he keep time perfectly? No. Is it Keith at his core? Yes.

Completed Albums
Keeping Constant Motion(2010)
An acoustic collection of songs for and about the people I have been fortunate enough to know... An album that could not have been completed if constant motion were not kept.
Late December(2011)
In an effort to make "THE album" rather than just "an album," Keith enlisted the musical talents of a number of artists, with many taking time out of their own busy RPM Februarys to help out.
Letters(2012)
One guitar, one voice, one mic, one take. Live from the Landry basement.
