Portland, Oregon native Keegan Smith has been a staple of the Pacific Northwest music scene for the last 5 years. He recently won landslide victories for Male Artist of the Year and Best Live Performance at the 2009 Portland Music Awards. On Saturday, May 2nd, 2009 he released his 5th album, entitled Special Delivery to a sold out audience in Portland's historic Bagdad Theatre. The band was recently featured in the Oregonian newspaper and has played the Les Schwab Amphitheater, KINK FM's Noon Tunes and has a summer schedule full of local/regionalshows and festivals. Special Delivery documents the hardships, physical struggles, and pure, unabashed joy associated with being a new parent. Smith teamed up with producer, Justin Dodge for this album, crafting a variety of songs about the marital bond, father-daughter love, financial struggles, addiction, spiritual uncertainties, and all-encompassing breakdowns associated with his life. The new album displays his art form poetically, while stylistically flowing between the genres of acoustic pop, disco-funk, and reggae-blues, while infusing an electronic backdrop to create an ethereal ear pleasing experience. So far in 2009, winning the PMA awards, the new album's release, plans to keep moving forward spreading the word, touring Europe during the fall, and motion picture song licensing opportunities have kept the fires burning bright for the group. Keegan's band, “The Fam" is an eclectic mix of musical heavyweights, producers, and bandleaders from the Northwest's thriving music scene. Together they create an energetic and entertaining sound that mixes Pop, Reggae, Funk, and Soul that has captivated audiences of every age. Portland's Willamette Week reviews the Fam saying, “[their] stuff is like musical summer” and “life's a little sunnier when listening to them.” For more information, promo requests, or to set up an interview, please contact: Media Maison info@mediamaison.com 503.719.6948
