From the artist:
“I have been playing music all my life, performing professionally in various groups in the salt lake area and beyond for a little over a decade (currently fronting blues-rock group Poet Bones). Graveljaw Keaton is my newest project, created as a home for my lofi-inspired, western-influenced guitar instrumental music. I’ve always called Utah home, and am excited to share this new project with the same music scene that’s been so supportive all these years!”
