Tommy Keys, Finalist at the 22nd International Blues Challenge (IBC's) in Memphis TN, has a winning combination - Barrelhouse Boogie & Blues Piano with moody, Soulful Vocals.
Otis Spann, Professor Longhair, Pinetop Perkins, Johnnie Johnson, Champion Jack Dupree, and Dr. John influence his individual style, encompassing elements of New Orleans Blues, Funk, Boogie and Jazz.
On "RUM BOOGIE WOOGIE"... this one's all about him and his piano. If large doses of robust barrelhouse blues get you moving, then clear the dance floor 'cause here you come. On this track, TOMMY'S puttin' out some of his best stuff.....vocally and instrumentally.
