Keith Ward (Piano/Vocals)

Keith Ward moved from Syracuse, NY to New York City in the summer of 2005. It was in New York that Ward first met Jared Schonig (Drums) and Mike Chiavaro (Bass). The band has been developing a following and playing the New York City Club circuit ever since. The Cutting Room NYC, The Red Lion and The Living Room/Googie’s Lounge have all hosted the band.

Ward’s first release, "3 Days Till Next Year." "3 Days Till Next Year" sold over 1,000 copies and was featured as the Free Download of The Week on Apple’s iTunes Music Store. The follow up to that record "Take Your Time," was released in 2007. "Take Your Time," was produced by Randy Crafton and is available on iTunes. The band is excited to be returning to the studio in Winter 2008 to record their 3rd album. Stay tuned for some behind the scenes audio and video from the recording sessions!
