(Carl Scott). As his manager I aim to make that happen because I have lived and breathed the vibes of delicate "d'addario" strings played with a thin–pick on a Taylor 615ce Jumbo. After 2 decades, I finally get to sit back and listen—actually listen! to the exquisite music that came from the heart and mind of Keith Curtis. It still blows me away, in fact probably more so each day: believe it. -- Best wishes, Marla Davis * * * 2015, a new year to add to this songwriter's timeline of half-a-hundred songs written within a ten year span ending with the collapse of the economy. His having a full time demanding day job to support the recording of his songs, Keith could spare nothing for the most important thing a musician can do: travel to live performance venues. Therefore his songs live on through a strong internet presence among his many dedicated fans as well as occasional welcome waves of new fans and listeners. Thanks for keeping him on the charts! --Best wishes, Marla Davis (Manager) * * * Nominee for Best Country Vocalist, 2008 Los Angeles Music Awards. Winner of 2008 Lyric Writer Awards Round 2, with song Home To Dallas at (wearelistening.org) Many awards from festivals and songwriting competitions over the years. Ample airplay from projects spanning two decades. Mostly college stations and NPR. Strong songwriting skills; easily crosses from one genre to another. Seasoned, practiced, and confident performer. Works the crowd. Professional-quality acoustic performer. Many Thanks to my fans.
