“An old soul in a young man’s voice” is the headline on the front page of the Los Angeles Times Calendar section. The article is about 26 year old Keaton Simons, whose voice is described as having a “lived-in quality that will echo in our minds and hearts for years to come”. Keaton’s fascination with music surfaced early. Singing since he could talk and picking up Beethoven on the piano by ear while still in preschool, Keaton finally started his lifetime love affair with the guitar at age 12.
As a 17 year old out of high school, Keaton started thinking about college. He decided on The Evergreen State College, located in Olympia, Washington. The area, which has become known as a fertile breeding ground for music and art, proved perfect to set in motion his initiation into the immense world of music. It was there that Keaton started writing songs. He dove in headfirst, taking on courses ranging from 20th century classical composition to Indonesian gamelan music to jazz and quite a lot in between. Keaton’s years at Evergreen not only introduced him to diverse global music but also taught him to incorporate everything into his own sensibilities. Major record labels have accused Keaton of being too diverse to contain.
After an early graduation, it was back to Los Angeles, playing music with old friends like Tre Hardson (of The Pharcyde) and new ones like singer N’Dea Davenport (of the Brand New Heavies), Kim Hill (of the Black Eyed Peas), underground hip-hop legend Medusa and appearing on Jay Leno’s TONIGHT SHOW with hip-hop icon Snoop Dogg.

What kind of music is her doing now? I liked the CURRENTLY EP, but more recently I heard his Talking Heads cover and didn't really like the sound of it (and was shocked to learn it was Keaton Simons, it didn't sound like what I knew and liked).

I'm hoping I get work off next week so I can see his live show. I've been a fan for a couple of years, yet I've yet to see him live. I think his first time here was last month when I was in russia

Anyone who is just beginning to listen to Keaton, know that he sounds just as good, if not better in person... so go see a show!! It's worth it, especially since it's quite routine for him to continue the show after it's over, outside surrounded by some fans and close friends!
