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, 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.
A new recording, Beyond (2022), is a personal collection of reflective songs about connection: with family, friends, and self.
