Keith Lee is a St. Paul guitarist specializing in baritone acoustic and electric fingerstyle. Growing up as a classically trained pianist, Keith started playing acoustic guitar after seeing Spider John Koerner perform in college. Keith’s playing draws from many fingerstyle traditions- American, British and West African among others. 

He has also performed live music with various theater productions in the Twin Cities, including the 2006 Star Tribune Best Experimental Theater performance at Mixed Blood Theatre (Indian Cowboy) and composed/performed alongside a silent movie version of the 1930 film All Quiet on the Western Front at Trylon Cinema for the 100th Anniversary of Armistice Day in 2018.

Matt Sowell is an instrumental acoustic guitar player. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Matt has played solo along the East Coast until he moved to Minneapolis in 2014.

Influenced by the guitar finger stylings of Jack Rose and John Fahey, Matt is constantly being challenged and evolving as a guitar player. Combining American blues, attributes of rag time with hints of Indian Ragas in his pieces, the sonic textures that Matt plays will bring you to deep introspective places.  Matt plays multiple acoustic guitars- 6 string, 12 string and Weissenborn acoustic slide guitars.
