Honky-tonk edge and real life depth. Real country music with a Texas edge. Norris's original studio album is a brilliant pre-cursor to his acclaimed follow-up album, "DEUCE".

Music has always run through Keith’s veins. Born and raised in the Houston suburb of Magnolia, Texas, he counts the songs of Hank Williams, Ray Price and Willie Nelson among his earliest memories. He began piano lessons as a young child, and by high school had picked up guitar, drums, bass, fiddle, saxophone and clarinet.
Keith played and sang professionally throughout junior high and high school, and recognized his calling early on. “I knew I wanted to play music for a living the first time I got paid to do it.
↓ more ↓” While attending Texas A&M University, he sang solo and played several instruments in the house band of the Texas Opry, who honored him with several awards including "Musician of the Year" and "Entertainer of the Year".
After graduating from college with a Bachelor’s degree in Business, Keith moved to Nashville, where he began playing writers’ nights and recording. His first album, the independently released and widely acclaimed "Along for the Ride", quickly placed him in the country spotlight, thanks to tremendous hit singles, “Viento, Mi Amigo”, “Cry, Cry Again”, and "Burning Your Bridges At Both Ends", all co-written by Keith.
"Deuce", Keith’s second and newest CD release, is quickly building on his fan base of music lovers, industry professionals and critics, who are enthusiastically embracing his unique voice, memorable melodies and commitment to the lyrical emotional honesty that has always defined country music. "Deuce" has produce FOUR radio chart singles to date, including "Two Step Program", "It Ain't A Party", "Too Cool For Horses", and the Top 10 Best In Texas hit "Hurt Me All The Time".
An accomplished songwriter, Keith also co-wrote several of Deuce’s tunes. Other top Nashville songwriters such as Kim Williams, Mark Nesler and Tony Martin also contributed songs to the project. Keith co-produced the album along side many notable industry veterans.
Increasingly, Keith’s substantial musical gifts are coming to the attention of his music industry peers. He is regularly invited to play and sing on other artists’ demos and albums, and has been bandleader for several acts. Most recently, he has produced albums for several contemporary recording artists.
Keith’s music is now playing on radio and internet stations throughout America and Europe. His live shows are lauded as dynamic and compelling by critics, who frequently compare him to Garth Brooks and George Strait. Nashville record producer Brett Beavers says, “Reminiscent of early Strait, Keith’s music has that wonderful combination of honky-tonk edge and real life depth.” Matthew Gillian of WSM’s Opry Star Spotlight calls him “an artist who sounds like he just stepped off the bandstand of a Lone Star dance hall with a west Texas tornado on a rope.”
But above all, to Keith, music is about communication. Telling stories people can relate to. Reaching people. And thanks to his tremendous talent and bright spirit, he’s doing just that.
