Keith
Watling started his musical adventures
being inspired by the love of music shown to him by his
parents at a young age. At the age of nine he took up
the piano and learned the written language of music.
In junior high school he took up the tenor saxophone and
was inspired by the works of George Gershwin.
The guitar came into his life when he was seventeen.
Keith has studied guitar at the Wisconsin Conservatory
of music where he received two scholarships.
He has studied with Bill Stone, Don Linke, Paul Silbergleit
Jack Grassel, Mark Davis, Berkely Fudge, and Barry Harris.
He has shared the stage with The Paul Spencer Group,
Larry Kozman Quintet, as well as playing lead guitar
with Mary and the Jazz guys.
His recent activity includes a hammond
B3 Jazz trio
with the extremely talented Dan Schneck,
playing Blues with Jasper Buchanan
and performing
many solo gigs.
