Originally from Wisconsin, Austin-based artist Keith Hampton spent many years as part of the vibrant Boston folk scene, where he performed on the historic stages at Club Passim, Johnny D's, and The Center for Arts in Natick, and opened for renowned acts such as Cosy Sheridan and Deb Pasternak.
He founded Brave Records to distribute his own recordings HOPEfire (2002), Chance & Change (2006), and Tyranena (2010). He also produced and performed as part of the Brave Records compilation Coming Home: Boston Song Collective (2004). The label has published music by a diverse roster of songwriters, classical musicians, and world music artists.
Journeyman (2014) was inspired by Joni Mitchell's introspective road-trip songs from Hejira (1976), delivering stories of living, loving, leaving, and letting go. FOLLOWING (2018) is a covers project, offering new interpretations of pop hits from the 1980s with unforgettable melodies.
Lullaby Project-Madison (2020) is a collaboration with the Overture Center for the Arts and Harambee Village Doulas.
A new recording is in the works, for release in 2022.
