Keith Lenn Project

On Tuesday, September 22nd, I was invited to do a fill-in gig with a band called Little Fires out of Columbia, SC. The venue was Bourbon in downtown Columbia, SC and is a beautiful space for eating and hosting music. It was a short five song set for a private audience and an eclectic set of tunes - stuff that is not normally what I do. But I was happy to finally get out there and play some bass for an audience! Drummer Gregg Helman and I were the rhythm section and both fill-in musicians for the gig while guitarist David Reddy and the dynamic Deb Adedokun on vocals rounded out the group! We were well-received and I think I played decently enough. It was super humid outside and my hand started to cramp on the last song, but we made it through and I thought it was epic! It was a fun evening and I am so thankful that I was asked to be a part of the special performance! A short video and a couple of pictures are below. 

It has been a long while since I've had something to write about since moving to South Carolina. It had taken me a very long time to find musicians down here who share the same mindset and work ethic that I have and that I am used to up in New York.

I found some like-minded musicians to help start a classic rock band called '74 Nova, like the classic car. Guitar, bass, drums and vocals - no country rock, no gospel, and no southern rock - pure classic rock from bands like Cream, Mountain, Neil Young, and even some of the “newer” classic rock like the Black Crowes and Billy Squier.

Then I heard from a band called MetalBox who found my profile on Bandmix. I had completely forgotten that I even made that profile so I was surprised when the singer reached out to me and asked me to come audition. Think all of the fun bands I grew up with - Dokken, Ratt, Judas Priest… truly a MetalBox! I'm in the process of learning their set list of 53 songs! 

I'll write more again when I have some more stuff to share! Rock on!
