Who is Keith Jolie?

Keith Jolie is a Canadian singer-songwriter. He was born in Brantford, Ontario and raised in St. George, Ontario.

Jolie attended the University of Windsor. While studying in Windsor, Jolie would take in the music that spilled across the border from Detroit, and Windsor's indie music scene as well as the Blues and Jazz artists that would regularly play in Windsor.

In 1993, Keith began hosting a weekly 3-hour Canadian Music Show called "Moose Radio - South of the Border" which showcased the Canadian independent music scene of the time. Over time this musical influence as well as the lyrical influences of the writers from the American Beat Movement, and his other musical interests began to form the basis for the lyrical nature of Jolie's songwriting.

After convocation, Jolie moved back to St. George where he began performing at numerous venues in the Brantford area, including a weekly Wednesday night residency at The Turnaround, a venue that mostly featured punk bands. His solo acoustic performances in this venue seem to have added an edginess and confidence to his songwriting and performance that allowed him, playing as a solo acoustic act, to fit in on bills with full rock bands. During this time he shared bills with bands like Transistor Sound and Light Company, Made, and By Devine Right.
