Landon Keller is an amazing musician and he sit down with us this week!! Exlcusive

Landon Keller is what I like to call the Quiet Artist. It has nothing to do with his music and everything to do with his charisma in his song and his on stage presence. He is those people that you know they got it but rarely proudly flash it around. You can feel and hear his talent on every performance and every song and he is as natural and close to heart as your next door neighbor. We love it. So check out his songs at www.myspace.com/landonkeller

Hey Landon! Congratulation on the release of Curiosity,
It’s a fantastic album

Q: So, shall we start? We have been listening to your music for over a year now and keep on wondering who you are? Please let us off our hook!
I'm from the Mid-West born and bread in Indiana, now living in Chicago. I play Folk-Rock, Acoustic, & Soul. I'm a 3rd generation musician. My father and brother play in my band. It's amazing and seems effortless. We enjoy every minute of it and never take it for granted. There is a lot of love here.

Q: you have been playing a lot of live shows. How do you feel about it compare to writing songs and recording in studio? Which you like the most?

I Love playing live, it allows you to release and to live in the moment. To interact with people in what can be described as a very spiritual way. There is an amazing energy I feel from band mates and fans when I play. I am always very aware of this energy, even if it doesn't seem like it sometimes.

Writing songs is a unique expirience as well. There's nothing like the feeling of a finished song. There are endless possibilities. It's addicting. It keeps me coming back for more.

Recording is an exciting thing. It's a group effort. It builds upon your music character and relationships. I feel like after we finished "Curiosity", we really had a sense that we had salitified ourselves as serious musicians. Now we're ready to do the follow up "Impact", and feel like all around we've aged well musically. I love it all! If I had to chose one, it would be the live show.

Q: How would you describe your music?
Elvis Costello once said, "Talking about music, is like dancing like architecture". I, like many other musicians, find it hard to describe my music in a nutshell. I like the idea of my listeners defining my music for themselves. I don't feel like it's up to me to define. A lot of my stuff has a certain amount of ambiguity to it. This allows listeners to develop their own meaning about the songs. I wouldn't want it any other way. All I could say is that my music comes from my soul.

Q: how do you really start writing all the amazing music that you write? Where do you get your inspiration from?
I open up, and let it come out. I try not to force anything. Sometimes it feels like I'm not even writing it. My inspiration comes from life the conscious and unconscious, imagination, nostalgia, nature, the cosmos, my soul.

Q: who is your most influential person in your music and life?
It's impossible for me to single out one person here. I will tell you that Dave Matthews was my gateway to a whole new world of meaningful music and Ray Lamontagne has my full and undivided attention right now. People in my life that have influenced me would have to include everyone in my immediate family. I grew up in an amazing musical family environment on a plethera of meaningful music.

Q: Are there any musician that you’d like to collaborate at the moment?
Lots. The Twin Cats, Max Allen, Jason Mraz, Ben Harper, Ryan Adams, Norah Jones, Dave Matthews, and James Taylor. The list goes on and on.

Q: is it tough when you go on tour? Or it’s just crazy with all the fellas playing around all the time? HAHA!

The road is a blast. It could get ruff if you let it, but if you stay conscious of the elements as well as other people you're traveling with it can be a lot of fun. It gets old sometimes driving so much, but you can turn it into a positive. It allows a lot of time to think and create. It's worth it.

Q: your guitar is fantastic man! How long does it take to be able to play that well?
Thanks brother. It just depends on how much you focus your full enery on it. You're not going to become good over night. Just like with anything else in life, you're going to hit walls and then, if you keep going, you'll breakdown barriers. The process repeats. At the time we recorded "Curiosity", I had been playing for 7 years. I never took lessons.

Q: Now what every woman want to know is…. Are you single? What kinda woman would interest you? HAHA!

I am not single. But things I would look for in a woman would be, independence, openness to new things, good personality, optimism, a kindness and understanding and love for the arts would def. be a bonus.

Q: if anyone wish to contact you for a show or anything, who should they call or where should they go?

Q: any show that’s coming in the near future?

Q: where can we all get your album?
You can get my music from www. cdbaby. com www. itunes. com www. napster. com and a lot of other major online distributers, just search my name.

Q: Are there anything you’d like to say to all of your fans out there before we go off?

Thank you for all your continued support. This is what I love to do and you are why I love to do it. If it were not for you I wouldn't be able to do it. We're not going anywhere. We're going to continue until, no one will listen anymore. Please check out the new album "Impact" coming out in the spring, we are really looking forward to it's release.

If you liked "curiosity" we think you will love "Impact". If you didn't like "Curiosity" we think you'll love "Impact". We're going to continue to need all the support/exposure we can get! See you soon!

Cheers,
Landon Keller
