Who was Keith Gattis? Exposure to the Country Music Icon
After being born in Georgetown, Texas, on May 26, 1971, musician Keith Gattis started performing at open mic nights and other small venues across the state as a youngster.
He uprooted to Music City after signing with RCA Nashville. Soon after, with the help of songs like “Real Deal” and “Little Drops of My Heart,” he became a massive success in the country music business. His webpage talks about how he inspired Tom Petty and the Eagles.
According to Musicrow, despite Keith Gattis’s growing fame, the sales of his two singles were disappointing. After relocating to the West Coast, he collaborated with Dwight Yoakam on the 2005 album Big City Blues. Its success may be attributed to songs like “El Cerrito Place” from the album. He was a co-creator of the Honky Tonk Experience with Kendell Marvel.
Marvel has spoken up about their experience working with Gattis following his p@ssing. His exact words were:
“We made my first record together and wrote most of the songs. Hell, we started The Honky Tonk Experience together. He was not only a great guitar slinger/ songwriter/singer/producer, he was also a great friend and an even better dad to his babies and husband to Penny.”
