Keith Burnstein is a singer-songwriter, pianist, and film composer who pens timeless tunes. His is a new American songbook that draws as much from Tin Pan Alley as it does from modern geniuses like Jeff Tweedy, Amon Tobin, and Mose Allison. "The songs, while instantly familiar, remain very much their own creations" (Secret Sound Shop), "combining the bedroom intimacy of a singer-songwriter" (Seven Days VT) with the rich harmonic palette of jazz, electronic, and "world" music.
In his genre-straddling career, Keith has "road-dogged it" with New Orleans darlings, The Mumbles, funk legends, The Headhunters, collaborated with and produced Kristin Diable, and released six records as a leader. His most recent LP, Things That Are Heavy Make Me Feel Light, was made through a generous grant from The Threadhead Foundation, and can be downloaded on this site and via all major digital retailers.
Since 2015, Keith has been composing music for film, radio, stage, and small screen. Recent projects include 2018's Emmy-winning documentary, Momentum Generation, Viola Lee's The Last Defense, and the NPR series, Tripod. In 2022, "KB" was commissioned by the University of Alabama and The Key West Contemporary Dance Ensemble to compose original music for a project that amplifies the voices of women incarcerated in the United States. As this goes to press, Keith is thrilled to be composing music for the forthcoming docuseries, Eyes on the Prize 2, which will debut on HBO Max!
