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 Jack Grassel, Bill Stone, Don Linke,

Dick Eliot, Mark Davis, Berkely Fudge, and Barry Harris.

He has shared the stage with Melvin Rhyne, Brian Lynch,

Dean Lea, Dan Schneck, Dick Eliot, Bill Sargent, Paul Spencer,

Mike Arnold, Larry Kozman Quintet, as well as playing lead guitar

with Mary and the Jazz guys.

His recent activity includes fronting his trio "Blue In Green"

and performing many solo gigs.
