Don Keeble

Don Keeble is a man who has truly made a life of music. His journey began at the tender age of five, playing the little drummer boy in his kindergarten Christmas program. By sixth grade, he was already singing as a second soprano in the school choir, encouraged by a perceptive teacher who recognized his vocal talent. Don’s musical horizons expanded further at age fifteen when his father won a Gibson J–50 acoustic guitar in a poker game, igniting a lifelong passion for the instrument.
As an adult, Don dedicated two decades to singing with a Methodist Church choir and another ten years with a community choir based in Oakland, immersing himself in the joy of collective musical expression. He has continued to hone his craft, writing and recording two albums of original music, which are available on his website, donkeeble.com.

Comfortable across genres such as rock, classical, country, folk, blues, and soul, Don brings both skill and heart to every performance.
