The aim of Sounds from the Keep is to highlight local working musicians in order to deconstruct what makes music thrive in the city of Dallas. I love this city. I always have. It may be the writer in me romanticizing the hidden history and culture of Dallas, but so be it. The music of this city speaks to me in ways I have been unable to articulate for a long time. This project is my attempt at expressing that feeling I get when I look at the Dallas skyline at night. The light from the city has a way of igniting me, and I feel that same emotion emerge when I talk to the musicians living and working here.
