Keith Morris was born in Alabama and raised in Columbus, Georgia. He received a B.A. in English from the University of Georgia and an M.A. in Literature from Florida State, then moved to Boulder, Colorado, where he worked a series of odd-jobs (waiter, innkeeper, shuttle and taxi-cab driver), and focused his energies on songwriting. There, he met his wife, Jennifer, with whom he eventually relocated to Charlottesville, Virginia. Morris has taught college, edited books for MIT Press, and served as a music columnist and reviewer. HIs first cd, “Songs From Candyapolis,” a conceptual album about childhood, received positive reviews for its unique lyrical perspective and musical exuberance. The Crooked Numbers join Morris for his follow-up, “love wounds & mars,” a collection of songs that plumbs the more brackish waters of experience, and “hits on all sonic and emotional cylinders.” (Frank Gutch, No Depression)
