Keith Roberts started playing guitar in 1960 and has performed onstage for almost all of the 50 years since. Initially influenced by the Yardbirds, Rolling Stones, Hendrix, Cream and the like, he sold his rock and roll band equipment, bought an acoustic guitar and headed for college in upstate New York where he played music by James Taylor, Crosby
Stills Nash and Young, Loggins & Messina, Van Morrison, Simon & Garfunkel, Little Feet, the Band and others. Eventually, Keith expanded his instrumental repertoire to include original compositions played on the banjo, 12-string guitar, percussion, bass, and keyboards. Vocally, Keith specializes in melodic leads and tight two part harmonization.

He moved to his grandparents’ farm in the Cove section of Garrett County in 1974 and, since then, has played solo, in duos and acoustic bands throughout the region. He is perhaps best known for his travels and recordings as half of “Smith and Roberts”, popular local singer/songwriters. He creates a dynamic acoustic sound that can be enjoyed by a broad range of listeners with diverse musical interests.
