"Whether you're dialing up the spirited, power pop-styled numbers or the more reflective, introspective tunes, everything on Keith LuBrant's SEARCHING FOR SIGNAL goes down smooth and easy. Nicely done!" - John M. Borack (Goldmine, Amplifier)
Keith LuBrant is from New Jersey, which has always been a breeding ground for great songwriters and great music. Sandwiched in-between two of the greatest musical cities in the world, New York and Philadelphia, New Jersey has the proximity to be influenced by the incredible music of these cities, yet the distance necessary to build one's own style. Keith has taken advantage of this fact with great success. His musical style is fresh and original. His dedication to songwriting is evident in the integrity and detail that go into the crafting of his music.
The fruition of his songwriting ability was evident in his first indie release, Face In The Crowd, a CD that was described in one review as "having absolutely no filler material". That's high praise at a time when you're lucky to hear one or two good songs on a CD after purchasing it based on the strength of a single you heard on the radio.
"I've always loved a song with a hook regardless of the musical style", says Keith. "I've spent hours analyzing songs…why some parts work and others don't…what makes a song good". It's safe to say that Keith has figured it out and learned how to use that knowledge. A single listen to his CD or going out and seeing him perform live is enough to get you hooked. One minute you're standing still and then…your foot is tapping, your body is swaying, your head is nodding…but most of all, a smile is on your face.
With his sophomore effort, Searching For Signal, all the hooks are all still present, but some songs have taken a new musical direction. "I knew I wanted to experiment with different styles and instrumentation very early in the songwriting stage for this project. I needed to explore a little more, dig a little deeper. I did not feel the need to recreate my previous CD."
Keith has performed at several conferences and festivals, and also has had songs used by major television networks, such as CBS, MTV, VH1, CMT, E!, and The Discovery Channel. Additionally, he has composed music for companies such as Philips Lighting and has performed on CD's with various national artists.
"The overall pop catchiness is quite the feat. Guitars and lyrics so hook-line-and-sinker, leaving or ignoring is out of the question." - Shut Eye Records
