Keith Sanchez Presents THE KICKING DUST ALBUM Release
With Special Guests The MoonThieves, Jackie Zamora of Baracutanga, and Chris Brennan of Reviva!
Keith Sanchez, of Stoic Frame and The MoonThieves, is releasing a solo project, The Kicking Dust Album on April 29 at FUSION | 708. The project is a part of the UETF Resiliency Residency. During his residency he wrote, produced, and recorded new music at the famed Rio Grande Studios in Albuquerque. He describes the sound as Americana with New Mexico roots. The sound is new sonic territory for Keith, with exploration into the traditions of country blues. Fans of Stoic Frame will recognize a rewrite of an early track, “Railroad Diesel.” The remainder of the album is all new material written in the past year. Come and be amongst the first to hear his new music at the release! Space is limited for this intimate performance. Special guests include The MoonThieves, Jackie Zamora of Baracutanga, and Chris Brennan of Reviva!
ABOUT KEITH SANCHEZ
Keith Sanchez has been playing music in the New Mexico deserts for four decades. His artist’s career began with punk latino-rock band Stoic Frame, one that took him traveling throughout the US and Latin America, and onto the Rock and Espanol charts. He is currently creating music with the Albuquerque band, The MoonThieves, a fun and groove inspiring rock-and-roll (and some espanol) band. His new project has him back in the studio writing and recording a solo album, with partial funding made possible with the UETF Resiliency Project. The album is a creative fusion of the old and new. He is bringing back some re-vamped music from his Stoic days and adding a country rock vibe to newly penned material, while still staying true to his Nuevo Mexicano roots. Keith can also be found in the classroom, as a high school teacher at RFK Charter High School in the south valley. He also mentors young musicians in the community program, The New Mexico Academy of Rock and Blues, a creative space for youth that he co-created with his wife in 2012. Keith is also a PhD student in the Chicana/o Studies program at UNM.
Beer, wine, and spirits from Safe House Distilling and Teller Vodka will be available.
