Keith Hallett is Coming to White Rock
Keith Hallet - Elks Hall - Saturday March 13th
Nineteen year-old blues guitar player, Keith Hallett of Fredericton, New
Brunswick, has been turning heads for a few years now. He has something to
say through his music and the audience feels it instantly. Keith has been
playing guitar since the age of 13, got into the blues at 15 and has enjoyed
studying and playing it ever since. In a very short period of time, Keith
has been able to play many festivals and special events such as the Mont
Tremblant Blues Festival, the Dutch Mason Blues Festival and Fredericton's
prestigious Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival. He has had the opportunity to
open for such groups as Grady, Paul Rishell & Annie Raines, Watermelon Slim
and the Workers, and has shared the stage with names such as Matt Andersen,
Ross Neilsen, Morgan Davis, John Cambelljohn, Thom Swift and The Lee Boys.

Last year, Keith's hard work paid off in the form of the 2007 CBC Galaxie
Rising Star Award, presented to him during the annual Harvest Jazz and Blues
Festival. Keith Hallett's future is a bright one. Loaded with a ton of
talent and audiences falling in love with his infective style on a daily
basis, he is sure to be around for a long time to entertain us.
Some say he is a cross between Albert Collins/Johnny Winter/ Duane Allman.
Come and hear for yourself.
