Somewhere up in heaven, right this very moment, there's an incredible jam session taking place. The group assembled represents some of the most talented and creative individuals ever to inhabit the planet. Though most would find it impossible to fathom, jazz legend Charlie Parker is weaving his intricate horn lines amidst the soulful vocal of country superstar Patsy Cline. The rhythm section, led by the late drummer, Philly Joe Jones, is swingin' in a manner only possible among those who have been freed from all physical constraints. Every now and again, Elvis himself (who never did have such constraints) appears at the microphone for a little hubba-hubba. And for those of you still wondering what ever happened to Glenn Miller that fateful night his plane disappeared, the truth is now revealed -- he got offered the job as bandleader for this unlikely melange of musical talent and had to fly off in a hurry for the first gig! ...
The official website of singer and songwriter, Keath Barrie.
Keath Barrie's music is for those who remember the "good ol' days", when music spoke differently to people's hearts, emotionally and spiritually. His music is from a time when you could turn on the radio and just sit back and relax to songs that touched listerners in so many personal ways.

Keath's song style has been harder and harder to find on the radio today. Only a few dedicated stations out there still keep the ballad style alive, and play the crooners who sang them in decades past.
Keath has entertained people all across North America in his concerts, and has toured with top artists such as Anne Murray. He employed only the best musicians in the music business for his recordings, such as Jimmy Dale, Bobby Edwards, Rob McConnell, Peter Appleyard and Hagood Hardy, to name just a few. He recorded in the top studios across the continent producing special music that can be cherished and remembered today. His rich barotone voice has often been compared to Perry Como or Roger Whittaker.
Born in Athabasca Alberta in 1932, Keath spent much of his youth growing up in Germany, but later returned to live in Calgary, Alberta. He eventually moved to Toronto to persue his creative endeavors, working in the film industry as he gradually developed his songwriting and singing skills.
Sadly, Keath passed away in 2004, but his music still lives on and continues to touch his many fans.
