Jennings and Keller is Laurie Jennings Oudin and Dana Keller, an acoustic duo based out of Miami, FL. They bring a wealth of experience to their collaboration, from the Broadway musicals of New York to the honky tonks of West Texas. The duo will be performing at Mama HillyBean's on Friday, July 3^rd, 2009, located at 426 E. Tehachapi Blvd in Tehachapi, California. Tickets will be $8 pre-sale and $10 at the door and the show will start at 7:00 p.m. For more information, call (661) 822-BEAN.

 

Their music is called ‘Fusion Folk Americana’—a blend of many different elements that comes from their vast and wide-ranging musical backgrounds. With the release of their debut CD, ‘Susan’s House’, and the May 2009 release of its follow-up, 'As The Universe Unfolds', Jennings and Keller are quickly gaining recognition and winning songwriting awards throughout the country. In 2007 alone, they were finalists in 5 different songwriting competitions across the country.

 

Laurie is well-known as the former proprietress of The Main Street Café, which was viewed across the country as the premier acoustic music venue in Florida. A former Shakespearean actress, Laurie has been a singer and songwriter for many years. Since the café’s close in June, 2006, she has been devoting her time to her musical career with Dana.

 

Dana Keller is a veteran pedal steel, dobro and guitar player who has spent years performing on stage or in the studio with such luminaries as Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs, Stevie Wonder, Larry Graham, Marvin Gaye, Dave Mason, Johnny Rodriguez and The Allen Brothers, to name a few. Dana has been an endorsee of the Gretsch Guitar and Drum Company since 1980. His dobro playing has been called ‘jaw-droppingly good’.

 

The synergy created from these two diverse talents is apparent in the responses they are getting from festival directors, club owners, and audience members. Laurie’s and Dana’s music is not easy to define, but will leave a lasting impression on all who listen. Fore more information on the duo, visit www.jenningsandkeller.com .
