Larry Keel is an award-winning innovative flat-picking guitarist and singer/songwriter hailing from Appalachia and currently residing in historic Lexington, VA. Keel began from an early age to forge a distinctive sound, taking bluegrass and classic country music and infusing those styles with a rock edge and elements of improvisational jazz. Keel has brought the flat-picking form to its highest level of sophistication and sonic power with his muscular yet refined style of playing. Keel integrates raw honesty and charming grit to create music filled with reality, imagination, imagery and vibe. He has inspired and merged creative forces with some of the greatest artists in modern roots music such as Tyler Childers, Billy Strings, Greensky Bluegrass, Keller Williams and Sam Bush, to name a few.
Keel is on a roll for 2025, with a new single release planned every few months starting January 10, as well as an early summer EP drop.
