Keith Greeninger

What Keith Greeninger brings to music and life is authenticity. Whether singing his own songs or others, he paints intricate portraits of the human condition with powerful melodic images, deep engaging guitar rhythms and husky, heart-wrenching vocals.

His masterfully crafted tunes and powerful presence have earned him the top songwriting awards at the prestigious Telluride Bluegrass Festival, The Kerrville Folk Festival and The Napa Valley Folk Festival. He has toured the national Folk and Americana circuit extensively for over two decades and is a sought after guest for radio broadcasts.

Keith made his way back to Santa Cruz to build a life with his family and soon became a sought after performer in his own band, solo and as a guest performer on other albums. It was in the studio that producer Cookie Marenco was introduced to Keith.

When seeking top performers for the creation of Extended Sound Environment (E.S.E.), Keith immediately came to Cookie’s mind. Along with his long time musical partner, Dayan Kai, the duo performed “Looking for a Home” live-in-the-studio for what would become the most popular and sought after song in Blue Coast Records’ history.
