Keith Gattis

Keith embodies the very essence of country rock cool (although he resists any kind of tag that pigeon-holes him into a corporate marketing niche.) No Gucci runway cowboy style for him. In fact, he's one of the authentic guys who actually inspire the designers with his Levi's boot-cut skinners, the backs raggedy-edged from endless scraping across the floor over James Leddy custom cowboy boots and a Viper Room t-shirt, sleeves cut off to reveal a self-designed tattoo - a horseshoe intertwined with roses (luck and love) on his right bicep. I met Keith in Los Angeles, when he was recording his new album, BIG CITY BLUES. This is his story. - Margo Hamilton, filmmaker -
