Hi Everybody!  We're now in Oregon, and it is breathtakingly beautiful.  Our big news at the moment is that we won first place in The Breedlove Festival's Songwriting Competition!  Our prize was a brand new Breedlove guitar.  We also met some terrific folks--thank you Oregonians who made us feel so welcome.  Here is a picture of the new guitar:

Here is me and Dana playing at the festival:

Here is a nice 'review' from our show at Redwood City's Downtown Library Concert:

"Great dobro, guitar and original lyrics, from deep, to deeply funny, to sublime."--Rosalind Kutter, Redwood City Downtown Library

We head out west in early May and will return in October. We hope to see you all on the road.

Here's a picture of a fan wearing a Jennings & Keller t-shirt (write to inquire if you want one).

Jennings and Keller have had such a great time in California, and are sad to see the end of this trip coming near, but they hope to be back soon.

It is a lighter schedule this month, and then the return trip home begins at the beginning of September with stops in Texas, Oklahoma, and Tennessee.

You can hear Jennings and Keller's appearance on "Please Stand By" on KPIG here.

Jennings and Keller have been traveling and meeting wonderful people, seeing the scenery and performing concerts in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona over the last month.

As the calendar rolls into July, Jennings and Keller's debut release from 2007 is now officially out of print. Recorded on antique equipment, it may be re-recorded and re-printed, but we'll wait to make an announcement on that front. There are a few hard copies of the CD left at CDBaby, and you can of course download the MP3s on iTunes and CDBaby.

In July, Jennings and Keller will start out in southern California (San Diego) and be in San Francisco and Berkeley at the end of the month. There are a few more dates in California in early August, and then the duo heads back east. They'll perform in Oklahoma for the first time in September, and in mid September, they'll return to Florida. Florida-based shows will take place through the end of the year and the beginning of 2010.

They will return to Florida in mid-September 2009 and perform a CD release party in October and/or November.

Dana Keller of Jennings & Keller appears on the new Dave Mason record, "26 Letters 12 Notes". Dave Mason is a co-founder of the legendary rock band Traffic. He's played on some of the greatest rock albums in history: Jimi Hendrix's Electric Ladyland, George Harrison's All Things Must Pass, and Delaney & Bonnie's Motel Shot among them. 26 Letters 12 Notes (issued on his own Out of the Box imprint through RED Distribution) is his first new album in a decade. Originally produced by Mason at home in California, additional recording was done in Detroit and Miami. It's a back to basics, '70s style rock and Brit soul record.

From Thom Jurek of All Music Guide:
"There's a beautiful pedal steel here played by Dana Keller that does exactly what it's supposed to do: add a ton of atmosphere without being intrusive."

Running from November 22, 2008 - December 22, 2008 is our holiday sale. We've chopped off $5 of the price of our debut CD, "Susan's House".

A nice mention we found from Colleen Dougher over at Metromix South Florida in the "On the tube" column:

"Jennings and Keller — Mountain." When Miami's Main Street Cafe closed in 2006, Laurie Jennings Oudin started devoting more time to her musical career, and it looks like it's paying off. This recently posted video of her playing "Mountain" with dobro player Dana Keller is enough to make you want to climb one.

We hope you are enjoying the new website, which we debuted last month. Jennings & Keller are hard at work on the follow-up CD to "Susan's House", which was released in 2007.

We're continuing to update the calendar for 2008 and 2009, and here is a quote from Susan Moss regarding Jennings & Keller's recent performance at The Luna Star Cafe:

"...we enjoyed two great sets of original music (three of Dana's own compositions), and a few special covers as well (Dana's dobro solo on While My Guitar Gently Weeps is jaw-droppingly good) - I of course adore Susan's House and, much as I believe Hold Fast the Wheel will always be my favorite of Laurie's self-penned tunes, it was a delight to hear some brand new ones: Mountains of Miami, Propane, My Baby Wants to Be a Bell Ringer... Stunning voice, smart lyrics, great musicianship... most definitely worth leaving the house for on a rainy Saturday night..."
